One semester away: help Joshua graduate from Syracuse State College
Joshua has worked and saved for four years to study a computer science degree; a $3,200 gap now stands between him and graduation.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a computer science degree at Syracuse State College, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a warehouse packer to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $3,200.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a distinction average, and my academic advisor 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 Syracuse State College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $3,200 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $1,050
• Final term tuition: $1,700
• Exam and lab fees: $165
• Textbooks and materials: $285
Thank you so much.

Sending good thoughts, Joshua. Shared this with my family. Take care.
Sending good thoughts, Joshua. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of Syracuse.
