Hey all,

I never wanted to get to a point where I have to ask others for money, but I am really struggling to pay tuition for my last semester. For most of my college career, I have been financially independent (paying more than 80% of my bills myself), and despite working 2 jobs, I still can’t afford to make ends meet. I would really appreciate if anyone can help even just a little bit. I don’t make much with the two on campus jobs I currently work, and there is a cap of working 20 hours a week maximum allowed. I would be so grateful for any small amount anyone can give, even if it’s just $5.

For some context, I am a senior Geology major with an Environmental Engineering concentration and a Data Analytics minor. I am a relatively good student (Dean’s List for 4 semester, President’s List just last fall), and am involved in several extracurriculars. My post graduation goals include going into environmental consulting and moving to the pacific northwest to pursue graduate school!

My requested amount is currently how much tuition I have left withstanding post 2/4 payments already completed. This is on top of me already taking out the maximum amount of federal loans offered to me this Spring.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read. I can’t thank anyone enough for any amount you chose to give. Love always,

Paola
