Newcastle upon Tyne
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a nursing degree at the Newcastle upon Tyne Institute of Technology, 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 $5,800. 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 academic advisor 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 $5,800 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $2,500 • Final term tuition: $3,050 • Exam and lab fees: $75 • Textbooks and materials: $175 Thanks for reading all this. - Levi

Updates from Levi

  1. Small update. $671 so far, the first invoice got paid this week.

  2. Wanted to say thank you properly. 11% funded and I met with the university and confirmed the amounts.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($420 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

    is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Levi

    • Levi R. WashingtonOwnerAnswerPhoto verified

      Sure. The biggest one is outstanding tuition balance, $2,500. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Good question.

  • Tumusiime Mutua Macharia

    Thinking of you, Levi. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I hope September is when things finally get easier.
