Natalia is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a pharmacy diploma at San Jose Polytechnic, and is two terms away from graduating. She has worked as a barista to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $3,700.
The registrar has said Natalia can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Natalia has a 3.6 average, and a department head has written in support.
Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Natalia would lose her place and scholarship eligibility.
Natalia 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 San Jose Polytechnic bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $3,700 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $1,750
• Final term tuition: $1,700
• Textbooks and materials: $250
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
