Tuition fund for Jaxon: an accounting degree at Grand Rapids State College
A first-generation student, Jaxon needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of an accounting degree.
🇺🇸 United States3,164 views
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying an accounting degree at Grand Rapids State College, and I'm one term 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 $2,500.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.6 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.
Everything raised goes to the university's accounts office toward the outstanding balance and the final term's fees.
Where the $2,500 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $1,950
• Exam and lab fees: $290
• Textbooks and materials: $260
Thank you for reading my story.

Hang in there. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. My neighbor in Cardiff donated after I showed her your page.
You're not alone. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Los Angeles

Good luck, Jaxon. Shared it with a few friends. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.
