Weston's final semester of a master's in public health in San Diego
A first-generation student, Weston needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a master's in public health.
🇺🇸 San Diego, California, United States2,174 views
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a master's in public health at San Diego Polytechnic, and I'm one semester away from graduating. I have worked as a shop assistant to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $5,850.
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 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 $5,850 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $2,800
• Final term tuition: $2,650
• Exam and lab fees: $110
• Textbooks and materials: $290
Thanks for reading all this.

Praying for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out.
rooting for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend.
Study hard! After 30 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
Sending good thoughts. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of San Diego.
Good luck. Shared it with a few friends. Sent it to 10 people at work. Thinking of San Diego.
