Valentina is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a teaching qualification at Girona Polytechnic, and is one term away from graduating. She has worked as a shop assistant to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $2,750. The registrar has said Valentina can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Valentina has a top-ten-percent 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 Valentina would lose her place and scholarship eligibility. Valentina 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 Girona Polytechnic bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $2,750 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $920 • Final term tuition: $1,550 • Exam and lab fees: $175 • Textbooks and materials: $105 Glad we found this place. - Dolores
