Tuition fund for Keith: a degree in social work at Newcastle University
A first-generation student, Keith needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a degree in social work.
🇦🇺 Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia2,094 views
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in social work at Newcastle University, 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 $3,450.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.9 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 $3,450 goes:
• Textbooks and materials: $230
• Exam and lab fees: $180
• Final term tuition: $3,040
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Sending good thoughts, Keith. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
Take care, Keith. It takes guts to ask. Well done. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care
Praying for you. Looking forward to the next update. We're a small family in Nsukka but we're thinking of you.
