A Coruña
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in social work at the A Coruñan Institute of Technology, and I'm one semester away from graduating. I have worked as a library assistant to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $2,950. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a top-ten-percent average, and my professor 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 $2,950 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,900 • Final term tuition: $770 • Exam and lab fees: $220 • Textbooks and materials: $60 Every share and every dollar helps.

    Hope it all works out. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out.
