Rudi is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a pharmacy diploma at Makassar 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 $400. The registrar has said Rudi can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Rudi has a top-ten-percent 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 Rudi would lose his place and scholarship eligibility. Rudi 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 $400 goes: โ€ข Outstanding tuition balance: $165 โ€ข Final term tuition: $165 โ€ข Exam and lab fees: $45 โ€ข Textbooks and materials: $25 With deep gratitude, Jihan
