I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a computer science degree at Los Angeles University, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a shop assistant to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $2,300. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a top-ten-percent 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. The payment will go directly to the Los Angeles University bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $2,300 goes: • Textbooks and materials: $240 • Exam and lab fees: $370 • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,690 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Sunita

Updates from Sunita

  1. Wanted to say thank you properly. 39% funded and the plan for textbooks and materials is now scheduled.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($475 in total) I met with the university and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Update from Los Angeles: I met with the university and confirmed the amounts. We're at 10% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

      Wishing you the best, Sunita. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best!
