Tuition fund for Edgardo: a master's in public health at Manila State College

Edgardo is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a master's in public health at Manila State College, and is one semester away from graduating. He has worked as a barista to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $250. The registrar has said Edgardo can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Edgardo has a distinction average, and a department head has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Edgardo would lose his place and scholarship eligibility. Edgardo isn't asking for a handout - He wants to finish what He 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 $250 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $175 • Textbooks and materials: $25 • Exam and lab fees: $50 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Jerome
