Lourdes is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying an electrical engineering diploma at the Bacoor Institute of Technology, 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 $650.
The registrar has said Lourdes can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Lourdes has a distinction 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 Lourdes would lose her place and scholarship eligibility.
Lourdes 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 Bacoor Institute of Technology bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $650 goes:
• Final term tuition: $290
• Textbooks and materials: $40
• Outstanding tuition balance: $320
I hope life is good to you.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Lourdes!
Final term tuition is $290 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks for looking so closely.
Praying for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Louisville.
Good luck. Shared this with my family. I hope August is when things finally get easier.
