Shawn is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a diploma in hospitality management at Augusta University, and is two terms 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 $4,650. The registrar has said Shawn can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Shawn has a 3.9 average, and an academic advisor has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Shawn would lose his place and scholarship eligibility. Shawn 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 $4,650 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,850 • Final term tuition: $2,300 • Exam and lab fees: $210 • Textbooks and materials: $290 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

    Keep going. Study hard! My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Augusta.

        It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 22 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
