One semester away: help Carolina graduate from Sacramento State College
A first-generation student, Carolina needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a master's in public health.
🇺🇸 Sacramento, California, United States4,335 views
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a master's in public health at Sacramento State College, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a library assistant to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $5,950.
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 academic advisor 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 $5,950 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $3,100
• Final term tuition: $2,400
• Exam and lab fees: $110
• Textbooks and materials: $340
Glad we found this place.

It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
Sending strength, Carolina. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 8 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
Study hard! We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Palermo.
Thinking of you, Carolina. Shared this with my family. All the best.
