Tuition fund for Leah: a law degree at San Jose State College
Leah has worked and saved for five years to study a law degree; a $2,950 gap now stands between her and graduation.

Leah is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a law degree at San Jose State College, and is two terms away from graduating. She has worked as a night-shift cleaner to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $2,950.
The registrar has said Leah can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Leah has a 3.8 average, and a faculty supervisor has written in support.
Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Leah would lose her place and scholarship eligibility.
Leah isn't asking for a handout - She wants to finish what She started and help the next student.
The payment will go directly to the San Jose State College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $2,950 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $2,450
• Exam and lab fees: $150
• Textbooks and materials: $350
Glad we found this place.

keep going, Maya. Shared it with a few friends. God bless.
Hang in there, Maya. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Leah
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. outstanding tuition balance is the biggest at $2,450. Happy to explain more.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Milan but we're thinking of you
Study hard! Please keep us posted. Love from Poznań.
Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Makassar
Take care. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My husband and I read this together. Take care.
As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. Love from Embakasi.

So sorry you're going through this, Maya. I hope things turn around soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Take care, Maya. Hope this works out for you. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best

Hope it all works out, Maya. I hope things turn around soon.
Hope it all works out, Maya. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Blessings.
Praying for you. Looking forward to the next update. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings
