A first-generation student, Rubén needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a degree in social work.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in social work at Alcalá de Henares Polytechnic, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a tutor to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $2,450.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a distinction average, and my department head 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 $2,450 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $880
• Final term tuition: $1,250
• Exam and lab fees: $250
• Textbooks and materials: $70
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Praying for you, Rubén. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from Rotterdam.
Rooting for you, Rubén. Shared this with my family. My husband and I read this together.
Hope things get better soon, Rubén. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care.
