Dylan has worked and saved for four years to study a computer science degree; a $3,200 gap now stands between him and graduation.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a computer science degree at Cleveland State College, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a library assistant to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $3,200.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a distinction average, and my professor 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.
The payment will go directly to the Cleveland State College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $3,200 goes:
• Final term tuition: $1,400
• Textbooks and materials: $200
• Outstanding tuition balance: $1,600
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Thinking of you and your family. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from San Diego.
Wishing you the best, Dylan. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. It's not much but it's yours.
