I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in social work at Manila 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 $650. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.9 average, and my department head 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 Manila University bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $650 goes: • Final term tuition: $590 • Textbooks and materials: $40 • Exam and lab fees: $20 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Bryan

Updates from Bryan

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($504 in total) the plan for final term tuition is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 62% now ($404). I'm honestly stunned. we've started the first stage.
