Guadalupe's final semester of a degree in civil engineering in Yonkers
A first-generation student, Guadalupe needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a degree in civil engineering.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in civil engineering at Yonkers University, 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 $6,450.
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 professor 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 $6,450 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $3,200
• Final term tuition: $2,700
• Exam and lab fees: $220
• Textbooks and materials: $330
Every share and every dollar helps.
