Hugo has worked and saved for four years to study a degree in civil engineering; a $5,100 gap now stands between him and graduation.

Hugo is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a degree in civil engineering at the San Diego Institute of Technology, and is two terms away from graduating. He has worked as a tutor to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $5,100.
The registrar has said Hugo can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Hugo has a top-ten-percent average, and a faculty supervisor has written in support.
Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Hugo would lose his place and scholarship eligibility.
Hugo isn't asking for a handout - He wants to finish what He 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 $5,100 goes:
• Textbooks and materials: $130
• Final term tuition: $3,000
• Outstanding tuition balance: $1,970
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

hang in there. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. I'll check back for the next update.
Thinking of you and your family, Lourdes. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of San Diego.
Best of luck, Lourdes. I hope things turn around soon!
