One semester away: help Jonathan graduate from San Diego Polytechnic
A first-generation student, Jonathan needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a degree in civil engineering.
🇺🇸 United States2,694 views
Jonathan is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a degree in civil engineering at San Diego Polytechnic, and is one term away from graduating. He has worked as a shop assistant to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $2,450.
The registrar has said Jonathan can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Jonathan has a top-ten-percent 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 Jonathan would lose his place and scholarship eligibility.
Jonathan 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 $2,450 goes:
• Textbooks and materials: $155
• Outstanding tuition balance: $2,050
• Exam and lab fees: $245
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Sending good thoughts, Walker. Hope you get there. God bless
Sending good thoughts. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Thinking of you and your family, Walker. Shared it with a few friends. All the best
education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of San Diego.
keep going. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Jalandhar.
Sending strength. Your post was clear and honest. My neighbor in Pretoria donated after I showed her your page. Blessings.
Best of luck, Walker. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings
