Fort Worth
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in civil engineering at Fort Worth Community College, 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 $4,350. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.6 average, and my department head 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 Fort Worth Community College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $4,350 goes: • Exam and lab fees: $230 • Textbooks and materials: $370 • Final term tuition: $3,750 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

  • Best of luck, Ting. This could happen to any of us. Don't give up. God bless.

    • Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ting

      • Ting Zhen ShiOwnerAnswerAddress verified

        Sure. The biggest one is exam and lab fees, $230. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Thanks for looking so closely.

      Wishing you the best. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Springfield.

      • So sorry you're going through this, Ting. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double

        • Rooting for you. Your post was clear and honest. Put this on a community board in Dhaka this morning.

          • Take care, Ting. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Blessings
