Hui is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying an accounting degree at Tampa Polytechnic, 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 $2,850. The registrar has said Hui can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Hui 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 Hui would lose his place and scholarship eligibility. Hui 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 $2,850 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,000 • Final term tuition: $1,450 • Exam and lab fees: $95 • Textbooks and materials: $305 Every share and every dollar helps.
