Robert is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying an accounting degree at the Sheffield Institute of Technology, and is one semester 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 $4,500. The registrar has said Robert can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Robert 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 Robert would lose his place and scholarship eligibility. Robert 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 $4,500 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,550 • Final term tuition: $2,600 • Exam and lab fees: $125 • Textbooks and materials: $225 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Updates from Doris

  1. Small update. $3,053 so far, the first invoice got paid this week.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,291 in total) I made the first payment toward final term tuition. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

    You're not alone, Doris. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
