I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a diploma in hospitality management at Odesa State College, 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 $1,250. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a distinction 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. Everything raised goes to the university's accounts office toward the outstanding balance and the final term's fees. Where the $1,250 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $520 • Final term tuition: $650 • Exam and lab fees: $60 • Textbooks and materials: $20 Thanks for being kind about this.
