Tuition fund for Rocío: a degree in social work at Los Angeles Community College
A first-generation student, Rocío needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a degree in social work.
🇺🇸 United States3,596 views
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in social work at Los Angeles Community College, and I'm two terms 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 $1,700.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.6 average, and my faculty supervisor 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.
The payment will go directly to the Los Angeles Community College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $1,700 goes:
• Textbooks and materials: $390
• Exam and lab fees: $210
• Outstanding tuition balance: $1,100
If you're reading this, thank you.

Study hard! It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Los Angeles!
is there anything that isn't money that would help Rocío?
Take care, Rocío. Hope you get there. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from San Jose.
thanks for sharing this, Rocío. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Los Angeles
Thinking of you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 29 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
Sending love, Rocío. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out.
