I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying an agriculture degree at Sandton Polytechnic, and I'm two terms 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 $1,250.
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 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 Sandton Polytechnic bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $1,250 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $610
• Final term tuition: $590
• Exam and lab fees: $50
If you're reading this, thank you.
