Quezon City
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a master's in public health at Quezon City University, 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 $600. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.9 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. The payment will go directly to the Quezon City University bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $600 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $185 • Final term tuition: $310 • Exam and lab fees: $50 • Textbooks and materials: $55 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

          Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Cecilia.

          • Cecilia P. Dela CruzOwnerAnswer

            Outstanding tuition balance is $185 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Good question.

              Hope things get better soon. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.

                          everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 15 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
