Abril is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying an electrical engineering diploma at the Bogotá Institute of Technology, 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 $1,450. The registrar has said Abril can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Abril has a distinction 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 Abril would lose her place and scholarship eligibility. Abril 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 $1,450 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $490 • Final term tuition: $870 • Exam and lab fees: $50 • Textbooks and materials: $40 Thank you for reading my story. - Emiliano
