One semester away: help Isabel graduate from Aurora Polytechnic
A first-generation student, Isabel needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a diploma in hospitality management.
🇺🇸 United States2,668 views
Isabel is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a diploma in hospitality management at Aurora Polytechnic, and is one term away from graduating. She has worked as a tutor to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $2,650.
The registrar has said Isabel can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Isabel has a 3.8 average, and an academic advisor has written in support.
Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Isabel would lose her place and scholarship eligibility.
Isabel isn't asking for a handout - She wants to finish what She 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 $2,650 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $2,300
• Textbooks and materials: $250
• Exam and lab fees: $100
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Aurora
Good luck, Gustavo. Hope this works out for you. I'll check back for the next update. Love from Multan.
Keep going, Gustavo. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. Wish I lived closer to Manukau so I could bring a meal. All the best
