Wilfredo is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a nursing degree at Rochester State College, 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 $1,250.
The registrar has said Wilfredo can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Wilfredo has a 3.9 average, and a professor has written in support.
Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Wilfredo would lose his place and scholarship eligibility.
Wilfredo 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 $1,250 goes:
• Exam and lab fees: $155
• Outstanding tuition balance: $1,000
• Textbooks and materials: $95
With deep gratitude,
Noel
