I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a computer science degree at Gulu Polytechnic, and I'm one semester away from graduating. I have worked as a barista to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $550.
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 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.
Everything raised goes to the university's accounts office toward the outstanding balance and the final term's fees.
Where the $550 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $230
• Final term tuition: $230
• Exam and lab fees: $40
• Textbooks and materials: $50
If you're reading this, thank you.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Collins
Outstanding tuition balance is $230 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks, that means a lot.
hope it all works out. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Gulu.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Collins?
Thank you. If you're in Gulu I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Good question.
