Hye-jin is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a master's in public health at the Seoul Institute of Technology, and is one term away from graduating. She has worked as a warehouse packer to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $2,650. The registrar has said Hye-jin can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Hye-jin has a 3.8 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 Hye-jin would lose her place and scholarship eligibility. Hye-jin 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 the Seoul Institute of Technology bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $2,650 goes: • Exam and lab fees: $150 • Final term tuition: $940 • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,560 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Mi-young
