One semester away: help Robert graduate from the Charlotte Institute of Technology

Robert is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a computer science degree at the Charlotte Institute of Technology, and is two terms away from graduating. He has worked as a shop assistant to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $1,300. The registrar has said Robert can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Robert has a 3.9 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 Robert would lose his place and scholarship eligibility. Robert 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 $1,300 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,000 • Textbooks and materials: $180 • Exam and lab fees: $120 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Lillian
