One semester away: help Alyssa graduate from San Diego Community College
A first-generation student, Alyssa needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a degree in civil engineering.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in civil engineering at San Diego Community College, and I'm two terms 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 $5,350.
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 department head 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 $5,350 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $2,400
• Final term tuition: $2,350
• Exam and lab fees: $300
• Textbooks and materials: $300
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Wishing you peace, Alyssa. Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of San Diego
Good luck, Alyssa. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Stellenbosch so I could bring a meal.
Sending strength, Alyssa. Hope this works out for you. Blessings.
Sending strength. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Blessings!
sending good thoughts, Alyssa. I hope things turn around soon. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.
