Angel's final semester of a teaching qualification in Los Angeles

Angel has worked and saved for three years to study a teaching qualification; a $5,900 gap now stands between him and graduation.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a teaching qualification at the Los Angeles Institute of Technology, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a delivery rider to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $5,900. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.6 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. Everything raised goes to the university's accounts office toward the outstanding balance and the final term's fees. Where the $5,900 goes: • Textbooks and materials: $380 • Final term tuition: $2,900 • Outstanding tuition balance: $2,620 Every share and every dollar helps.
