One semester away: help Citlali graduate from Duluth State College

Citlali has worked and saved for three years to study a degree in social work; a $3,100 gap now stands between her and graduation.

Citlali is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a degree in social work at Duluth State College, and is one semester 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 $3,100. The registrar has said Citlali can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Citlali has a first-class 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 Citlali would lose her place and scholarship eligibility. Citlali isn't asking for a handout - She wants to finish what She started and help the next student. The payment will go directly to the Duluth State College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $3,100 goes: • Final term tuition: $2,600 • Exam and lab fees: $195 • Textbooks and materials: $305 I hope life is good to you.

Updates from Álvaro

  1. We're at 52% thanks to 53 of you. I met with the university and confirmed the amounts. More news soon.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($715 in total) I made the first payment toward final term tuition. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
