Help Yanari not drop out of college!

As most of you know, I went to Houston on a military scholarship. However, that scholarship has still not been processed or honored. Despite the stress I was needlessly put under I was able to pass all of my 19 credit hours, attend two universities (which I only had to because of NROTC), hold a 3.0 GPA, promote within my unit, pass my personnel qualification standards board, and even though I did not have the time I still joined a group called Young Life on campus just to keep me close to my faith since I didn't have a set church home. I made all this happen on my savings only, I was never paid a dime. Now I'm left having to rationalize the fact that I will have to drop out. Anyone that knows me knows I work so hard to be a good student and to reach my goals so please help me pay off the rest of my tuition so I still have a fighting chance for spring semester.

(also an official detailed response of why I need this is below, feel free to read through!)





As of Monday January 18th, 2021, I was informed that I no longer could be a part of the Houston Consortium NROTC unit if I was not enrolled in any spring semester classes. From the beginning of NROTC my paperwork was taking forever to be processed. I had little communication of what was needed and/or received by the DOD. However, I still collected the paperwork needed and submitted it to my DOD point of contact’s email multiple times, and I even faxed it multiple times, yet it has still not been received by the DOD. However, I did the same and sent it to my superiors and they received all my paperwork immediately with no problems at all. But it also took me months to get this paperwork because I am 17 hours away from home and Covid has slowed all mailing processes, even electronically and even that is being held against me. I called many times to see if my papers were received and processed but had little to no communication from the DOD. I ran my savings to the last dollar, paid for what I could this semester but still could not afford to enroll in classes for the upcoming spring semester. I looked for different avenues, especially loans but could not get any because I have no credit and my parents aren’t within the capacity to co-sign. So as stated before I am not dropping out of the program because of my own will. I am dropping because I have been given no other choice. I gave my all to this program and even before it to earn my scholarship. The truth is I love this unit and I undoubtedly  earned my place in this unit, and given the chance I’d fight for it again if I have to. So I am not leaving by choice, I invested too much into this to do so. I just have no other option.
