I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying an electrical engineering diploma at Dublin State College, and I'm one semester away from graduating. I have worked as a warehouse packer to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $4,000.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.9 average, and my academic advisor 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 $4,000 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $1,950
• Final term tuition: $1,700
• Exam and lab fees: $250
• Textbooks and materials: $100
I hope life is good to you.

good luck. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
Hang in there, Cathal. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
Wishing you the best. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Blessings.
So sorry you're going through this. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Good luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
