Claire is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a degree in civil engineering at Los Angeles University, and is one semester 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 $5,050. The registrar has said Claire can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Claire has a distinction average, and a faculty supervisor has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Claire would lose her place and scholarship eligibility. Claire 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 Los Angeles University bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $5,050 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $2,600 • Final term tuition: $2,250 • Exam and lab fees: $80 • Textbooks and materials: $120 I hope life is good to you.
