Jacob's final semester of an accounting degree in Sacramento
A first-generation student, Jacob needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of an accounting degree.
🇺🇸 California, United States4,470 views
Jacob is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying an accounting degree at Sacramento State College, and is two terms away from graduating. He has worked as a night-shift cleaner to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $6,100.
The registrar has said Jacob can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Jacob has a 3.6 average, and a faculty supervisor has written in support.
Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Jacob would lose his place and scholarship eligibility.
Jacob 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 Sacramento State College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $6,100 goes:
• Final term tuition: $3,000
• Textbooks and materials: $370
• Outstanding tuition balance: $2,730
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Thinking of you and your family, Isaiah. Shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
hope things get better soon, Isaiah. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. Blessings
Thanks for sharing this, Isaiah. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected
Thanks for sharing this, Isaiah. This could happen to any of us. I hope August is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Butwal
