Paisley is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a law degree at Albany Polytechnic, and is one term away from graduating. She has worked as a delivery rider to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $1,850. The registrar has said Paisley can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Paisley has a 3.9 average, and a department head has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Paisley would lose her place and scholarship eligibility. Paisley isn't asking for a handout - She wants to finish what She started and 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 $1,850 goes: • Textbooks and materials: $400 • Final term tuition: $1,300 • Exam and lab fees: $150 Thanks for reading all this. - Lily
