Tuition fund for Sota: a degree in social work at Sapporo State College
A first-generation student, Sota needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a degree in social work.
🇯🇵 Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan1,540 views
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in social work at Sapporo State College, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a warehouse packer to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $1,400.
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 professor 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 Sapporo State College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $1,400 goes:
• Textbooks and materials: $105
• Outstanding tuition balance: $1,150
• Exam and lab fees: $145
Thank you for reading my story.

rooting for you. Shared this with my family. I'm in logistics myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Sapporo
Sending strength. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings.
Rooting for you, Sota. Your post was clear and honest.
