Tuition fund for Aurora: a teaching qualification at Ann Arbor State College

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a teaching qualification at Ann Arbor State College, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a library assistant to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $6,850. 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 professor 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 Ann Arbor State College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $6,850 goes: • Textbooks and materials: $410 • Final term tuition: $3,350 • Outstanding tuition balance: $3,090 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
