Tuition fund for Owen: a degree in social work at Kansas City University
A first-generation student, Owen needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a degree in social work.
🇺🇸 Kansas City, Missouri, United States778 views
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in social work at Kansas City University, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a shop assistant 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 first-class average, and my faculty supervisor 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 Kansas City University bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $5,800 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $2,100
• Final term tuition: $3,250
• Exam and lab fees: $330
• Textbooks and materials: $120
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Thank you all. We're at 1% now ($50). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward textbooks and materials.
