Help me finish a teaching qualification at the Dublin Institute of Technology - $4,300 to go
A first-generation student, Cian needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a teaching qualification.
🇮🇪 Dublin, Leinster, Ireland1,457 views
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a teaching qualification at the Dublin Institute of Technology, and I'm one semester away from graduating. I have worked as a night-shift cleaner to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $4,300.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a top-ten-percent average, and my faculty supervisor 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 the Dublin Institute of Technology bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $4,300 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $970
• Final term tuition: $2,950
• Exam and lab fees: $230
• Textbooks and materials: $150
Thank you for reading my story.

Thank you. If you're in Dublin I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Appreciate you taking the time.
You're not alone, Cian. Hope you get there. My neighbor in Kampala donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
Hope things get better soon, Cian. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. I hope August is when things finally get easier. Blessings!
Stay strong. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I hope August is when things finally get easier.
Thanks for sharing this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from Ikeja
Sending good thoughts. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. Put this on a community board in Kampala this morning. Love from Kampala.
