Marco is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a computer science degree at Rome State College, and is one semester away from graduating. He has worked as a night-shift cleaner to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $2,250. The registrar has said Marco can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Marco has a 3.8 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 Marco would lose his place and scholarship eligibility. Marco 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 $2,250 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,200 • Textbooks and materials: $280 • Final term tuition: $770 If you're reading this, thank you. - Stefania
