Craig is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a master's in public health at Syracuse State College, and is one term away from graduating. He has worked as a library assistant to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $5,200. The registrar has said Craig can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Craig has a top-ten-percent average, and a faculty supervisor has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Craig would lose his place and scholarship eligibility. Craig 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 $5,200 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $870 • Final term tuition: $3,750 • Exam and lab fees: $145 • Textbooks and materials: $435 Glad we found this place.
