Tuition fund for Carmela: a teaching qualification at Taguig Community College
A first-generation student, Carmela needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a teaching qualification.
🇵🇭 Taguig, Metro Manila, Philippines1,177 views
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a teaching qualification at Taguig Community College, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a barista to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $1,000.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a top-ten-percent average, and my professor 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 $1,000 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $410
• Exam and lab fees: $55
• Final term tuition: $535
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
