Deborah's final semester of a diploma in hospitality management in Tucson

Deborah is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a diploma in hospitality management at Tucson Polytechnic, and is two terms away from graduating. She has worked as a delivery rider to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $5,450. The registrar has said Deborah can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Deborah has a 3.9 average, and a department head has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Deborah would lose her place and scholarship eligibility. Deborah isn't asking for a handout - She wants to finish what She started and help the next student. The payment will go directly to the Tucson Polytechnic bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $5,450 goes: • Exam and lab fees: $95 • Final term tuition: $3,100 • Outstanding tuition balance: $2,255 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Rachel
