Colombo

Nimal is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a nursing degree at Colombo State College, and is two terms away from graduating. He has worked as a warehouse packer to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $650. The registrar has said Nimal can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Nimal has a 3.9 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 Nimal would lose his place and scholarship eligibility. Nimal 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 $650 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $560 • Exam and lab fees: $35 • Textbooks and materials: $55 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Jagath

Good news. Because of your gifts ($134 in total) the plan for outstanding tuition balance is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
