One semester away: help Samuel graduate from Salvador State College
A first-generation student, Samuel needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a computer science degree.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a computer science degree at Salvador 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 $650.
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 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 $650 goes:
• Final term tuition: $580
• Textbooks and materials: $55
• Exam and lab fees: $15
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

You're not alone, Samuel. Your post was clear and honest. I hope October is when things finally get easier
So sorry you're going through this, Samuel. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Half-Way Tree so I could bring a meal
Good luck, Samuel. Hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless
