Tuition fund for Sophie: a pharmacy diploma at Tallahassee Community College
Sophie has worked and saved for three years to study a pharmacy diploma; a $5,500 gap now stands between her and graduation.
🇺🇸 Tallahassee, Florida, United States2,998 views
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a pharmacy diploma at Tallahassee Community College, and I'm one semester 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 $5,500.
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 Tallahassee Community College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $5,500 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $2,900
• Final term tuition: $1,900
• Exam and lab fees: $270
• Textbooks and materials: $430
