Teresa is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a diploma in hospitality management at Yonkers University, and is two terms 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 $3,500. The registrar has said Teresa can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Teresa has a 3.9 average, and a professor has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Teresa would lose her place and scholarship eligibility. Teresa 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 Yonkers University bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $3,500 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,300 • Final term tuition: $1,500 • Exam and lab fees: $340 • Textbooks and materials: $360 Thanks for reading all this. - Micah
