One semester away: help Walker graduate from San Jose Polytechnic
Walker has worked and saved for five years to study a degree in civil engineering; a $5,750 gap now stands between him and graduation.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in civil engineering at San Jose Polytechnic, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a library assistant to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $5,750.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a first-class average, and my department head 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 San Jose Polytechnic bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $5,750 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $2,700
• Final term tuition: $2,850
• Exam and lab fees: $200
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Hope things get better soon, Walker. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near San Jose!
So sorry you're going through this, Walker. Your post was clear and honest. Put this on a community board in Gdynia this morning
Take care, Walker. Study hard! Sent it to 35 people at work.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Walker
Sure. The biggest one is outstanding tuition balance, $2,700. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. It helps to be asked.
Keep going, Walker. Study hard! Thinking of San Jose
Thinking of you, Walker. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. Sent it to 37 people at work. Take care.
Thinking of you, Walker. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
How is Walker doing now?
stay strong, Walker. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best.
Thinking of you and your family, Walker. Looking forward to the next update.
Stay strong. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. My neighbor in Dasmariñas donated after I showed her your page.
Best of luck. Hope you get there. All the best.

You're not alone, Walker. This could happen to any of us. After 25 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
praying for you. Shared it with a few friends. Love from Brooklyn
hope it all works out. I hope things turn around soon. Love from Brooklyn.
You're not alone, Walker. Hope this works out for you
