One semester away: help Thomas graduate from Los Angeles Community College
A first-generation student, Thomas needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a degree in civil engineering.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in civil engineering at Los Angeles Community College, and I'm one semester 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 $2,400.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.9 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 Los Angeles Community College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $2,400 goes:
• Final term tuition: $1,900
• Textbooks and materials: $270
• Exam and lab fees: $230
Thank you so much.

Your post was clear and honest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Birmingham.
Looking forward to the next update. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care
