One semester away: help Gareth graduate from Soweto State College

Gareth is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a computer science degree at Soweto State College, and is one term 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 $500. The registrar has said Gareth can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Gareth 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 Gareth would lose his place and scholarship eligibility. Gareth 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 $500 goes: • Textbooks and materials: $100 • Exam and lab fees: $45 • Final term tuition: $355 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Rashid
