Thành's final semester of a degree in social work in Hồ Chí Minh City
Thành is one term away from finishing a degree in social work but is blocked from enrolling by an unpaid balance of $700.
🇻🇳 Hồ Chí Minh City, Vietnam991 views
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in social work at Hồ Chí Minh City University, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a shop assistant to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $700.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.8 average, and my faculty supervisor has written in support of my application for a payment plan.
Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support my younger siblings. Without enrolling this term I'd lose my place and my scholarship eligibility.
I'm not asking for a handout - I want to finish what I started and then help the next student.
The payment will go directly to the Hồ Chí Minh City University bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $700 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $230
• Final term tuition: $430
• Exam and lab fees: $40
Thanks for being kind about this.
