Hudson's final semester of a degree in civil engineering in Orlando
Hudson has worked and saved for five years to study a degree in civil engineering; a $3,550 gap now stands between him and graduation.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in civil engineering at Orlando Polytechnic, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a shop assistant to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $3,550.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a top-ten-percent average, and my professor has written in support of my application for a payment plan.
Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support my younger siblings. Without enrolling this term I'd lose my place and my scholarship eligibility.
I'm not asking for a handout - I want to finish what I started and then 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 $3,550 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $1,400
• Final term tuition: $1,500
• Exam and lab fees: $280
• Textbooks and materials: $370
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
