Tuition fund for Dante: a degree in social work at Lapu-Lapu University
Dante has worked and saved for three years to study a degree in social work; a $1,150 gap now stands between him and graduation.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in social work at Lapu-Lapu University, and I'm one semester away from graduating. I have worked as a night-shift cleaner to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $1,150.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.8 average, and my faculty supervisor 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 $1,150 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $570
• Final term tuition: $490
• Exam and lab fees: $30
• Textbooks and materials: $60
