Support a Bright Future in Computer Science
Donation protected
Hello! I am applying for grad school for computer science. The last few years have been difficult, working a low-wage office job and living paycheck-to-paycheck. I’m wanting to get out of this cycle by getting my master’s degree in computer science, and ultimately find a job in that field so that I can live a comfortable life while not hating my job.
I’m struggling to come up with the money for application fees, and have been unable to obtain fee waivers for the schools to which I’m applying. I’m hoping that you might be willing to help with that.
Here is a breakdown of the schools and their application fees:
University of Illinois Chicago: $70
Northeastern Illinois University: $30
Chicago State University: $30
University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign: $70
If you’re able to help, I’d really appreciate it. If not, I understand - things are rough out here, and there are a lot of others who also need help.
