Aaliyah is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying an electrical engineering diploma at San Antonio Community College, and is one semester 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 $5,100. The registrar has said Aaliyah can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Aaliyah has a distinction average, and a professor has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Aaliyah would lose her place and scholarship eligibility. Aaliyah 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 $5,100 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $2,950 • Final term tuition: $1,850 • Exam and lab fees: $185 • Textbooks and materials: $115 Thanks for reading all this. - Natalia

          So sorry you're going through this, Natalia. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
