Tuition fund for Marcus: a computer science degree at Colorado Springs State College

Marcus is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a computer science degree at Colorado Springs State College, and is one term 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 $1,700. The registrar has said Marcus can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Marcus has a 3.6 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 Marcus would lose his place and scholarship eligibility. Marcus 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 $1,700 goes: • Textbooks and materials: $270 • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,300 • Exam and lab fees: $130 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
