Araceli has worked and saved for three years to study a degree in social work; a $1,450 gap now stands between her and graduation.

Araceli is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a degree in social work at Envigado Community College, and is two terms away from graduating. She has worked as a tutor to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $1,450. The registrar has said Araceli can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Araceli has a 3.6 average, and a professor has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Araceli would lose her place and scholarship eligibility. Araceli 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 Envigado Community College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $1,450 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $520 • Final term tuition: $800 • Exam and lab fees: $85 • Textbooks and materials: $45 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Álvaro

    So sorry you're going through this. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. Put this on a community board in Coyoacán this morning.

    • Amna Amna Ismail

      Thanks for sharing this, Álvaro. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. Wish I lived closer to Faisalabad so I could bring a meal

        Rooting for you. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. After 22 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
