José has worked and saved for four years to study a degree in social work; a $6,050 gap now stands between him and graduation.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in social work at the Sacramento Institute of Technology, 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 $6,050.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.9 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 $6,050 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $3,550
• Final term tuition: $2,000
• Exam and lab fees: $270
• Textbooks and materials: $230
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
