I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying an electrical engineering diploma at the Bacolod Institute of Technology, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a shop assistant to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $950.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a distinction 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.
The payment will go directly to the the Bacolod Institute of Technology bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $950 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $440
• Final term tuition: $470
• Exam and lab fees: $35
• Textbooks and materials: $5
Thank you for reading my story.

Thanks for sharing this, Teresita. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care
stay strong, Teresita. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Teresita.
Outstanding tuition balance is $440 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks for looking so closely.
Wishing you peace, Teresita. Looking forward to the next update
Sending good thoughts. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Vitória da Conquista.

Thinking of you and your family, Teresita. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 17 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
Study hard! After 12 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Noida.
