Tuition fund for Kai: a pharmacy diploma at Los Angeles University
A first-generation student, Kai needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a pharmacy diploma.
🇺🇸 United States3,207 views
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a pharmacy diploma at Los Angeles University, and I'm two terms 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 $6,400.
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 faculty supervisor 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 Los Angeles University bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $6,400 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $2,450
• Final term tuition: $3,550
• Exam and lab fees: $270
• Textbooks and materials: $130
Thanks for reading all this.

Shared it with a few friends. Put this on a community board in Anaheim this morning.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Kai!
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. outstanding tuition balance comes first ($2,450) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Let me know if you want more detail.
so sorry you're going through this, Kai. Shared it with a few friends. Put this on a community board in Embakasi this morning. God bless
Sending good thoughts. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
Study hard! Greetings from Ibadan.
