One semester away: help Sebastian graduate from Hialeah Community College
A first-generation student, Sebastian needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a degree in civil engineering.
🇺🇸 United States4,149 views
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in civil engineering at Hialeah Community 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 $4,200.
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 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.
Everything raised goes to the university's accounts office toward the outstanding balance and the final term's fees.
Where the $4,200 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $1,950
• Final term tuition: $1,650
• Exam and lab fees: $250
• Textbooks and materials: $350
I hope life is good to you.

Hang in there, Sebastian. Study hard! Love from Minneapolis
Hang in there, Sebastian. Study hard! We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.
So sorry you're going through this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Toronto
Keep going. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Ciudad de México.
Wishing you peace, Sebastian. Looking forward to the next update. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings
