Alcalá de Henares
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a diploma in hospitality management at Alcalá de Henares Community College, 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 $2,900. 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. Everything raised goes to the university's accounts office toward the outstanding balance and the final term's fees. Where the $2,900 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,550 • Final term tuition: $930 • Exam and lab fees: $220 • Textbooks and materials: $200 Thank you for reading my story.
