Hadley is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a degree in social work at Columbia University, and is one term away from graduating. She has worked as a night-shift cleaner to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $2,750. The registrar has said Hadley can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Hadley has a 3.9 average, and an academic advisor has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Hadley would lose her place and scholarship eligibility. Hadley isn't asking for a handout - She wants to finish what She started and 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 $2,750 goes: • Final term tuition: $2,300 • Exam and lab fees: $240 • Textbooks and materials: $210 Thanks for reading all this.
