Michelle's final semester of a computer science degree in Pasig
Michelle has worked and saved for five years to study a computer science degree; a $850 gap now stands between her and graduation.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a computer science degree at Pasig Polytechnic, and I'm two terms 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 $850.
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 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.
The payment will go directly to the Pasig Polytechnic bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $850 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $410
• Final term tuition: $340
• Exam and lab fees: $55
• Textbooks and materials: $45
With deep gratitude,
Michelle

Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Pasig.
Thanks for sharing this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Put this on a community board in Accra this morning. Thinking of Pasig
Best of luck, Michelle. Your post was clear and honest. Take care.
