Itzel's final semester of a law degree in Austin
A first-generation student, Itzel needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a law degree.
🇺🇸 United States3,184 views
Itzel is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a law degree at Austin State College, and is two terms away from graduating. She has worked as a tutor to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $4,800.
The registrar has said Itzel can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Itzel has a 3.9 average, and a department head has written in support.
Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Itzel would lose her place and scholarship eligibility.
Itzel 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 Austin State College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $4,800 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $2,800
• Final term tuition: $1,500
• Exam and lab fees: $155
• Textbooks and materials: $345
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
