Vandana is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying an agriculture degree at San Diego Polytechnic, and is two terms away from graduating. She has worked as a library assistant to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $4,750. The registrar has said Vandana can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Vandana has a distinction average, and a faculty supervisor has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Vandana would lose her place and scholarship eligibility. Vandana isn't asking for a handout - She wants to finish what She started and 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 $4,750 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $2,800 • Exam and lab fees: $145 • Final term tuition: $1,805 Thank you for reading my story. - Abhishek
