Harold's final semester of a teaching qualification in Los Angeles
A first-generation student, Harold needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a teaching qualification.
🇺🇸 United States3,229 views
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a teaching qualification at Los Angeles University, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a library assistant to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $1,950.
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.
Everything raised goes to the university's accounts office toward the outstanding balance and the final term's fees.
Where the $1,950 goes:
• Exam and lab fees: $135
• Outstanding tuition balance: $1,400
• Textbooks and materials: $415
