One semester away: help Walker graduate from the Detroit Institute of Technology
A first-generation student, Walker needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of an accounting degree.
🇺🇸 United States4,286 views
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying an accounting degree at the Detroit Institute of Technology, and I'm one semester 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 $6,600.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a distinction 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.
Everything raised goes to the university's accounts office toward the outstanding balance and the final term's fees.
Where the $6,600 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $2,300
• Final term tuition: $3,800
• Exam and lab fees: $290
• Textbooks and materials: $210
Every share and every dollar helps.

Hope things get better soon, Walker. Hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
hope things get better soon, Walker. Your post was clear and honest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best
