Mariana's final semester of a pharmacy diploma in Tlaquepaque

Mariana is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a pharmacy diploma at Tlaquepaque University, and is one term away from graduating. She has worked as a shop assistant to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $950. The registrar has said Mariana can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Mariana 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 Mariana would lose her place and scholarship eligibility. Mariana isn't asking for a handout - She wants to finish what She started and 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 $950 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $500 • Exam and lab fees: $65 • Final term tuition: $385 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
