Dylan's final semester of a degree in civil engineering in San Francisco
A first-generation student, Dylan needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a degree in civil engineering.
🇺🇸 California, United States3,639 views
Dylan is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a degree in civil engineering at the San Francisco Institute of Technology, and is one term away from graduating. He has worked as a shop assistant to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $5,000.
The registrar has said Dylan can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Dylan has a 3.6 average, and an academic advisor has written in support.
Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Dylan would lose his place and scholarship eligibility.
Dylan isn't asking for a handout - He wants to finish what He started and help the next student.
The payment will go directly to the the San Francisco Institute of Technology bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $5,000 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $990
• Final term tuition: $3,700
• Exam and lab fees: $120
• Textbooks and materials: $190

Thank you all. We're at 20% now ($989). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward textbooks and materials.

Keep going. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of San Francisco
You're not alone, Skylar. Looking forward to the next update. I have a 5 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.
Sending strength, Skylar. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. God bless.
Thinking of you and your family. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 35 people at work. All the best
