I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in social work at the Kilkenny Institute of Technology, and I'm one semester away from graduating. I have worked as a tutor to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $5,550.
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 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 $5,550 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $3,050
• Final term tuition: $2,100
• Exam and lab fees: $250
• Textbooks and materials: $150
Thanks for reading all this.

How is Sorcha doing now?
wishing you the best. Hope you get there. We're a small family in Benin City but we're thinking of you!
wishing you the best, Sorcha. Hope you get there. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Hope it all works out, Sorcha. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. God bless
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Sorcha?
Hope things get better soon, Sorcha. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Take care.
Wishing you peace. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. Put this on a community board in Hyderabad this morning. All the best
study hard! I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Brandon
Sending love. I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Phuket but we're thinking of you.
Hope things get better soon, Sorcha. Study hard! My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
