Katherine is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a degree in social work at Newcastle Community College, and is one semester 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 $2,400. The registrar has said Katherine can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Katherine has a top-ten-percent 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 Katherine would lose her place and scholarship eligibility. Katherine 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 $2,400 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,850 • Exam and lab fees: $340 • Textbooks and materials: $210 Thanks for being kind about this.
