Tuition fund for Imelda: a degree in social work at the Quezon City Institute of Technology

Imelda is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a degree in social work at the Quezon City Institute of Technology, and is one semester away from graduating. She has worked as a delivery rider to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $650. The registrar has said Imelda can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Imelda has a 3.6 average, and an academic advisor has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Imelda would lose her place and scholarship eligibility. Imelda 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 $650 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $280 • Textbooks and materials: $25 • Final term tuition: $345 Thank you for reading my story. - Vanessa
