One semester away: help Adalynn graduate from Tampa State College
A first-generation student, Adalynn needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of an electrical engineering diploma.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying an electrical engineering diploma at Tampa State College, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a tutor to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $5,450.
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 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.
Everything raised goes to the university's accounts office toward the outstanding balance and the final term's fees.
Where the $5,450 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $2,700
• Final term tuition: $2,350
• Exam and lab fees: $135
• Textbooks and materials: $265
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Stay strong. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. Greetings from Adama.
So sorry you're going through this, Adalynn. I hope things turn around soon. Sent it to 5 people at work. All the best!
take care, Adalynn. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Wishing you peace, Adalynn. Hope this works out for you. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
