One semester away: help Isaiah graduate from Derry State College
Isaiah has worked and saved for three years to study an electrical engineering diploma; a $2,700 gap now stands between him and graduation.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying an electrical engineering diploma at Derry State College, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a delivery rider to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $2,700.
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 faculty supervisor 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.
The payment will go directly to the Derry State College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $2,700 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $1,350
• Final term tuition: $880
• Exam and lab fees: $160
• Textbooks and materials: $310

Thanks for sharing this. Shared this with my family. Thinking of Derry.
Thanks for sharing this, Isaiah. Hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out!
Sending strength, Isaiah. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. God bless
Take care, Isaiah. Shared it with a few friends.
I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Dar es Salaam.
Rooting for you, Isaiah. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Jakarta Selatan.
Sending strength, Isaiah. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Paris
