Help Me Pay Off School
Donation protected
Hello. My name is Sarah and I'm working towards a bachelor's degree in Molecular and Cellular Biology with a focus towards medicine at the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana. Being able to attend such a highly acclaimed school was a huge blessing and I am extremely happy to call myself an Illini. I am also the first in my family to attend University.
However, there are circumstances which may prevent me from finishing my degree, or from even returning to school at all. After graduation from high school, my parents were very supportive of me in my endeavor to get a degree and hopefully go to medical school at some point in my future. My first semester of college was difficult, having gone from a small high school to a state university, and my performance was less-than-satisfactory. But, in my last two semesters, I was able to raise my grades to a much more suitable level, one that I am pleased with. However, when I went to school for my last semester, I was unaware that I wouldn't have anyone to cosign a loan for my schooling. It was halfway through the semester, well past the cutoff date to withdraw from classes, when my parents told me they would not help me get a loan. There is no reason that I can imagine which would cause them to withdraw their support from me.
That said, the University is refusing me the right to register for classes until I can pay back my last semester's tuition. There is nothing I would love more than to return to the University of Illinois and continue to further my education. In order to do that, I need to raise $15,600 to pay off my existing balance to the school. Please help me to reach this goal by donating, or if you're unable to do that, by sharing this link!!
Eternally grateful,
Sarah
