Tuition fund for Mark: a computer science degree at Pretoria State College
A first-generation student, Mark needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a computer science degree.
Anywhere in the world2,048 views
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a computer science degree at Pretoria State College, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a tutor to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $950.
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 department head 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.
The payment will go directly to the Pretoria State College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $950 goes:
• Final term tuition: $400
• Exam and lab fees: $65
• Outstanding tuition balance: $485
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
