I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a computer science degree at Mthatha Community College, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a night-shift cleaner to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $850.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a first-class average, and my academic advisor 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 Mthatha Community College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $850 goes:
• Exam and lab fees: $45
• Final term tuition: $440
• Outstanding tuition balance: $365

best of luck, Francois. Hope you get there. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from Arlington.
Sending love, Francois. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Iloilo City.
Stay strong. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Manila so I could bring a meal.
you're not alone, Francois. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'll check back for the next update. Take care
I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor in Ballarat donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
