Maria's final semester of a master's in public health in Detroit
A first-generation student, Maria needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a master's in public health.
🇺🇸 Detroit, Michigan, United States2,901 views
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a master's in public health at Detroit University, and I'm one semester away from graduating. I have worked as a tutor to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $3,750.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a top-ten-percent average, and my faculty supervisor 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.
Everything raised goes to the university's accounts office toward the outstanding balance and the final term's fees.
Where the $3,750 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $2,300
• Exam and lab fees: $210
• Final term tuition: $1,240

Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Rabat donated after I showed her your page
thinking of you and your family, Maria. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Barcelona.
Good luck, Maria. Hope this works out for you. Please keep us posted.
Thinking of you and your family. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. Thinking of Detroit.
So sorry you're going through this, Maria. Shared this with my family. Love from Kassel
