Düsseldorf
Elias is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a nursing degree at Düsseldorf State College, and is one semester away from graduating. He has worked as a tutor to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $3,300. The registrar has said Elias can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Elias has a 3.6 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 Elias would lose his place and scholarship eligibility. Elias 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 $3,300 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,600 • Final term tuition: $1,250 • Exam and lab fees: $280 • Textbooks and materials: $170 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
