I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying an electrical engineering diploma at Grand Rapids State College, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a delivery rider 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 top-ten-percent 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: $2,000
• Final term tuition: $2,450
• Exam and lab fees: $210
• Textbooks and materials: $240
I hope life is good to you.

Take care, Leah. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care.
