Tuition fund for Lawrence: a master's in public health at Orlando State College
A first-generation student, Lawrence needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a master's in public health.
🇺🇸 Orlando, Florida, United States7,093 views
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a master's in public health at Orlando State College, and I'm one semester 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 $4,900.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a first-class 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 $4,900 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $2,300
• Final term tuition: $2,250
• Exam and lab fees: $175
• Textbooks and materials: $175
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Good luck. Hope you get there. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care.
Wishing you peace, Lawrence. Shared it with a few friends. After 9 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Orlando.
You're not alone, Lawrence. Hope this works out for you. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Manila.
