Alcalá de Henares
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in social work at Alcalá de Henares University, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a barista to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $2,950. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.8 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. Everything raised goes to the university's accounts office toward the outstanding balance and the final term's fees. Where the $2,950 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,450 • Final term tuition: $1,250 • Exam and lab fees: $70 • Textbooks and materials: $180 Thank you so much.

              Rooting for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 27 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Alcalá de Henares!
