Faith is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying an agriculture degree at Rochester State College, and is one term away from graduating. She has worked as a warehouse packer to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $3,850. The registrar has said Faith can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Faith 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 Faith would lose her place and scholarship eligibility. Faith isn't asking for a handout - She wants to finish what She 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 $3,850 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,750 • Final term tuition: $1,650 • Exam and lab fees: $140 • Textbooks and materials: $310 Thanks for reading all this. - Caroline
