Santiago has worked and saved for three years to study a teaching qualification; a $1,450 gap now stands between him and graduation.

Santiago is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a teaching qualification at Coyoacán Community College, and is one term away from graduating. He has worked as a shop assistant to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $1,450.
The registrar has said Santiago can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Santiago has a first-class average, and an academic advisor has written in support.
Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Santiago would lose his place and scholarship eligibility.
Santiago isn't asking for a handout - He wants to finish what He started and help the next student.
The payment will go directly to the Coyoacán Community College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $1,450 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $420
• Final term tuition: $830
• Exam and lab fees: $80
• Textbooks and materials: $120
Thank you so much.

thinking of you, Mercedes. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My husband and I read this together. God bless.
take care, Mercedes. Shared it with a few friends. I hope August is when things finally get easier. Blessings.
I hope things turn around soon. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
Rooting for you, Mercedes. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Coyoacán.
Good luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I hope August is when things finally get easier. Blessings
