I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying an electrical engineering diploma at Austin State College, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a barista to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $4,800. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.6 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 $4,800 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $3,050 • Final term tuition: $1,150 • Exam and lab fees: $210 • Textbooks and materials: $390 Thanks for being kind about this. - Noah

  • Wishing you peace, Noah. Shared it with a few friends. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day

    • Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of Austin.

      • shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out.

        • Sending good thoughts, Noah. Shared this with my family. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best

          • Good luck with the exams, you've got this. Put this on a community board in Jimma this morning.
