Cristina's final semester of a degree in social work in Alcalá de Henares

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in social work at the Alcalá de Henares Institute of Technology, 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 $2,850. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.9 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 the Alcalá de Henares Institute of Technology bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $2,850 goes: • Exam and lab fees: $220 • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,200 • Final term tuition: $1,430 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Cristina
