Tuition fund for Maricel: an electrical engineering diploma at Manila University
Maricel is one semester away from finishing an electrical engineering diploma but is blocked from enrolling by an unpaid balance of $1,000.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying an electrical engineering diploma at Manila University, and I'm one semester away from graduating. I have worked as a shop assistant to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $1,000.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.8 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 $1,000 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $380
• Final term tuition: $550
• Exam and lab fees: $30
• Textbooks and materials: $40
Thanks for reading all this.

Hope things get better soon, Maricel. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Bogor.
Best of luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 13 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Manila.
Keep going, Maricel. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless
Thinking of you and your family. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from Dresden.
You're not alone, Maricel. Looking forward to the next update. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Pune
