Sadie's final semester of a teaching qualification in Albuquerque

Sadie has worked and saved for four years to study a teaching qualification; a $4,400 gap now stands between her and graduation.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a teaching qualification at Albuquerque State College, and I'm one semester away from graduating. I have worked as a warehouse packer to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $4,400. 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. Everything raised goes to the university's accounts office toward the outstanding balance and the final term's fees. Where the $4,400 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,750 • Final term tuition: $2,200 • Exam and lab fees: $80 • Textbooks and materials: $370 Thank you so much. - Sadie

    is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Sadie

    • Sadie N. PenaOwnerAnswer

      Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. outstanding tuition balance comes first ($1,750) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. I'll keep the page updated.

    hang in there, Sadie. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.

      wishing you peace, Sadie. Looking forward to the next update. After 26 years in social work I know how hard it is to ask for anything!

        Rooting for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Albuquerque.

        • Rafael T. Benítez

          Take care, Sadie. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. We're a small family in Munich but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Munich
