Alexander is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a nursing degree at the Peoria Institute of Technology, and is one semester away from graduating. He has worked as a shop assistant to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $5,950. The registrar has said Alexander can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Alexander has a 3.6 average, and a department head has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Alexander would lose his place and scholarship eligibility. Alexander isn't asking for a handout - He wants to finish what He started and 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 $5,950 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $3,300 • Final term tuition: $2,250 • Exam and lab fees: $150 • Textbooks and materials: $250 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Delilah
