Óscar's final semester of a master's in public health in La Plata

A first-generation student, Óscar needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a master's in public health.

La Plata
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a master's in public health at La Plata State College, and I'm one semester 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 $1,300. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.9 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. Everything raised goes to the university's accounts office toward the outstanding balance and the final term's fees. Where the $1,300 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $460 • Textbooks and materials: $30 • Final term tuition: $810 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Óscar

    So sorry you're going through this, Óscar. Shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best.
