I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying an electrical engineering diploma at Dublin University, 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 $3,150. 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 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 $3,150 goes: • Exam and lab fees: $310 • Final term tuition: $2,000 • Outstanding tuition balance: $840 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

  1. Thank you all. We're at 31% now ($977). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for final term tuition is now scheduled.

  2. Update from Dublin: I made the first payment toward outstanding tuition balance. We're at 12% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

    Thanks for sharing this. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.

    • Beau H. Acosta

      Stay strong, Eileen. I hope things turn around soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings
