Amparo's final semester of a degree in social work in Bakersfield
A first-generation student, Amparo needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a degree in social work.
🇺🇸 Bakersfield, California, United States2,447 views
Amparo is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a degree in social work at Bakersfield University, and is one semester away from graduating. She has worked as a night-shift cleaner to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $5,200.
The registrar has said Amparo can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Amparo has a first-class average, and a professor has written in support.
Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Amparo would lose her place and scholarship eligibility.
Amparo isn't asking for a handout - She wants to finish what She started and 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 $5,200 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $2,750
• Final term tuition: $2,150
• Exam and lab fees: $75
• Textbooks and materials: $225
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
