Vivian is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a master's in public health at the San Antonio Institute of Technology, and is one semester 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 $4,150. The registrar has said Vivian can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Vivian has a distinction 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 Vivian would lose her place and scholarship eligibility. Vivian 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 $4,150 goes: • Final term tuition: $1,550 • Outstanding tuition balance: $2,450 • Textbooks and materials: $150 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.
