Joshua's final semester of a pharmacy diploma in San Jose

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a pharmacy diploma at the San Jose Institute of Technology, and I'm one semester away from graduating. I have worked as a delivery rider to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $2,550. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a first-class 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. The payment will go directly to the the San Jose Institute of Technology bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $2,550 goes: • Final term tuition: $1,950 • Textbooks and materials: $350 • Exam and lab fees: $250 With deep gratitude, Joshua
