James's final semester of a master's in public health in Albany
A first-generation student, James needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a master's in public health.
🇺🇸 Albany, New York, United States2,806 views
James is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a master's in public health at Albany Community College, and is one term away from graduating. He has worked as a delivery rider to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $3,200.
The registrar has said James can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. James has a 3.8 average, and an academic advisor has written in support.
Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term James would lose his place and scholarship eligibility.
James isn't asking for a handout - He wants to finish what He started and 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 $3,200 goes:
• Final term tuition: $1,700
• Outstanding tuition balance: $1,150
• Textbooks and materials: $350

You're not alone. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Albany.
praying for you, Dennis. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. I hope June is when things finally get easier. All the best
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for James!
Final term tuition is $1,700 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Fair thing to want to know.
it takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Nice donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Albany
You're not alone, Dennis. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My husband and I read this together.
Hope things get better soon, Dennis. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust
best of luck, Dennis. Your post was clear and honest. Sent it to 3 people at work. All the best.
Rooting for you, Dennis. I hope things turn around soon. Thinking of Albany.
Stay strong, Dennis. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
