Veracruz
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a teaching qualification at the Veracruz Institute of Technology, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a library assistant to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $1,250. 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 academic advisor 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 $1,250 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $580 • Final term tuition: $460 • Exam and lab fees: $110 • Textbooks and materials: $100 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Updates from Elena

  1. Wanted to say thank you properly. 12% funded and the plan for exam and lab fees is now scheduled.

  2. We're at 4% thanks to 4 of you. the first invoice got paid this week. More news soon.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($30 in total) I made the first payment toward outstanding tuition balance. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

        Sending strength. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Veracruz.
