Fergal's final semester of a pharmacy diploma in Dublin

Fergal has worked and saved for three years to study a pharmacy diploma; a $5,400 gap now stands between him and graduation.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a pharmacy diploma at Dublin Community College, and I'm one semester away from graduating. I have worked as a tutor to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $5,400. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.8 average, and my department head 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. Everything raised goes to the university's accounts office toward the outstanding balance and the final term's fees. Where the $5,400 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $2,450 • Final term tuition: $2,550 • Exam and lab fees: $320 • Textbooks and materials: $80 Thank you so much. - Fergal

Updates from Fergal

  1. Update from Dublin: the plan for outstanding tuition balance is now scheduled. We're at 49% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,621 in total) I met with the university and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

    Thinking of you and your family, Fergal. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
