One semester away: help Carmela graduate from Pasig Polytechnic
A first-generation student, Carmela needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a degree in social work.
🇵🇭 Metro Manila, Philippines867 views
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in social work 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 distinction average, and my professor 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.
Everything raised goes to the university's accounts office toward the outstanding balance and the final term's fees.
Where the $850 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $400
• Final term tuition: $400
• Exam and lab fees: $35
• Textbooks and materials: $15
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Praying for you. Shared it with a few friends. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too
education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. Thinking of Pasig
Keep going, Carmela. Hope you get there. Thinking of Pasig.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Carmela
Outstanding tuition balance is $400 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Fair thing to want to know.
Sending good thoughts, Carmela. Shared it with a few friends
Thinking of you and your family, Carmela. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. Greetings from Khon Kaen.
