Help Scarlett finish an agriculture degree at the Los Angeles Institute of Technology - $2,950 to go
A first-generation student, Scarlett needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of an agriculture degree.
🇺🇸 California, United States3,643 views
Scarlett is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying an agriculture degree at the Los Angeles Institute of Technology, and is two terms away from graduating. She has worked as a warehouse packer to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $2,950.
The registrar has said Scarlett can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Scarlett has a 3.6 average, and a faculty supervisor has written in support.
Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Scarlett would lose her place and scholarship eligibility.
Scarlett isn't asking for a handout - She wants to finish what She started and 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:
• Textbooks and materials: $240
• Final term tuition: $1,100
• Outstanding tuition balance: $1,610
Thanks for reading all this.

Take care, Walter. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. God bless.
Wishing you the best. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Luxor but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Luxor!
hang in there, Walter. Shared this with my family. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
Stay strong, Walter. This could happen to any of us.
education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. After 30 years in social work I know how hard it is to ask for anything.
Praying for you, Walter. This could happen to any of us. I'll check back for the next update.
