Valentina is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a degree in civil engineering at București University, and is one semester away from graduating. She has worked as a library assistant to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $1,050. The registrar has said Valentina can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Valentina has a top-ten-percent 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 Valentina would lose her place and scholarship eligibility. Valentina isn't asking for a handout - She wants to finish what She started and help the next student. The payment will go directly to the București University bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $1,050 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $360 • Final term tuition: $480 • Exam and lab fees: $100 • Textbooks and materials: $110 If you're reading this, thank you. - Cristian
