One semester away: help Micah graduate from Los Angeles Community College
A first-generation student, Micah needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a teaching qualification.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a teaching qualification at Los Angeles Community College, and I'm one semester away from graduating. I have worked as a tutor to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $5,050.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.9 average, and my academic advisor has written in support of my application for a payment plan.
Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support my younger siblings. Without enrolling this term I'd lose my place and my scholarship eligibility.
I'm not asking for a handout - I want to finish what I started and then 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 $5,050 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $1,250
• Final term tuition: $3,350
• Exam and lab fees: $260
• Textbooks and materials: $190
Every share and every dollar helps.

As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. My husband and I read this together. All the best.
