Tuition fund for Felix: a computer science degree at Madina Community College

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a computer science degree at Madina Community College, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a tutor 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 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 $700 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $200 • Final term tuition: $460 • Exam and lab fees: $25 • Textbooks and materials: $15 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
