Lauren is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a degree in social work at Los Angeles Polytechnic, and is two terms away from graduating. She has worked as a tutor to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $3,450. The registrar has said Lauren can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Lauren has a 3.8 average, and a professor has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Lauren would lose her place and scholarship eligibility. Lauren 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 $3,450 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,300 • Final term tuition: $1,700 • Exam and lab fees: $130 • Textbooks and materials: $320 Thanks for reading all this. - Samantha
