Thilina's final semester of a pharmacy diploma in Negombo

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a pharmacy diploma at Negombo Community College, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a delivery rider 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 distinction 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 Negombo Community College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $700 goes: • Textbooks and materials: $25 • Exam and lab fees: $30 • Final term tuition: $645 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
