Silas is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a nursing degree at the Dundee Institute of Technology, and is one term away from graduating. He has worked as a night-shift cleaner to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $4,700. The registrar has said Silas can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Silas has a 3.6 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 Silas would lose his place and scholarship eligibility. Silas 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 $4,700 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,900 • Final term tuition: $2,350 • Exam and lab fees: $130 • Textbooks and materials: $320 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
