Miles is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a degree in civil engineering at Red Deer Polytechnic, and is one term 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 $4,800. The registrar has said Miles can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Miles has a 3.8 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 Miles would lose his place and scholarship eligibility. Miles 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 $4,800 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $2,450 • Final term tuition: $2,050 • Exam and lab fees: $125 • Textbooks and materials: $175 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
