Lourdes's final semester of a pharmacy diploma in Iloilo City
A first-generation student, Lourdes needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a pharmacy diploma.
🇵🇭 Iloilo City, Iloilo, Philippines1,735 views
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a pharmacy diploma at Iloilo City Polytechnic, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a warehouse packer to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $600.
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 Iloilo City Polytechnic bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $600 goes:
• Exam and lab fees: $25
• Final term tuition: $530
• Textbooks and materials: $45
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Updates from Lourdes
Good news. Because of your gifts ($235 in total) I met with the university and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
