Marlene's final semester of a diploma in hospitality management in Stellenbosch
Marlene has worked and saved for three years to study a diploma in hospitality management; a $900 gap now stands between her and graduation.

Marlene is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a diploma in hospitality management at Stellenbosch Community College, and is two terms away from graduating. She has worked as a library assistant to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $900.
The registrar has said Marlene can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Marlene has a top-ten-percent 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 Marlene would lose her place and scholarship eligibility.
Marlene 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 $900 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $810
• Textbooks and materials: $35
• Exam and lab fees: $55
Every share and every dollar helps.

Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Coventry.
Sending love. Shared this with my family. Put this on a community board in Los Angeles this morning. Blessings.
is there anything that isn't money that would help Marlene?
Thank you. If you're in Stellenbosch I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. I'll keep the page updated.
Sending good thoughts, Rachel. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors
You're not alone. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Mar del Plata.
This could happen to any of us. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Iztapalapa!
