Tuition fund for Rachel: a computer science degree at the San Jose Institute of Technology
A first-generation student, Rachel needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a computer science degree.
🇺🇸 San Jose, California, United States2,818 views
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a computer science degree at the San Jose 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 $4,450.
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 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 $4,450 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $2,800
• Final term tuition: $1,250
• Exam and lab fees: $195
• Textbooks and materials: $205
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

You're not alone. Shared this with my family. Love from George
Best of luck, Rachel. Study hard! All the best
You're not alone. Shared it with a few friends. Put this on a community board in Stuttgart this morning. Take care
Hope it all works out. This could happen to any of us. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of San Jose.
