Elijah is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying an accounting degree at San Antonio Polytechnic, and is two terms 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 $3,650. The registrar has said Elijah can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Elijah has a first-class average, and a faculty supervisor has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Elijah would lose his place and scholarship eligibility. Elijah 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 $3,650 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,300 • Final term tuition: $1,800 • Exam and lab fees: $260 • Textbooks and materials: $290 Every share and every dollar helps. - Clara
