Aaron is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a degree in civil engineering at London Community College, and is one semester away from graduating. He has worked as a tutor to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $4,550. The registrar has said Aaron can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Aaron has a 3.9 average, and a professor has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Aaron would lose his place and scholarship eligibility. Aaron isn't asking for a handout - He wants to finish what He started and help the next student. The payment will go directly to the London Community College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $4,550 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $2,400 • Final term tuition: $1,650 • Exam and lab fees: $320 • Textbooks and materials: $180 Thank you so much.
