Lei is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a teaching qualification at the Pittsburgh Institute of Technology, and is one term away from graduating. She has worked as a delivery rider to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $5,700.
The registrar has said Lei can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Lei has a top-ten-percent 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 Lei would lose her place and scholarship eligibility.
Lei 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 the Pittsburgh Institute of Technology bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $5,700 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $2,300
• Final term tuition: $3,050
• Exam and lab fees: $90
• Textbooks and materials: $260
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
