Rochelle's final semester of an electrical engineering diploma in Spanish Town
A first-generation student, Rochelle needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of an electrical engineering diploma.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying an electrical engineering diploma at Spanish Town State College, and I'm one semester away from graduating. I have worked as a delivery rider to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $500.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a first-class 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 $500 goes:
• Textbooks and materials: $35
• Exam and lab fees: $110
• Final term tuition: $355
Thank you for reading my story.

Wishing you peace, Rochelle. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Spanish Town.
