Essentially, James Ward was homeless and got into Howard University on scholarship, but obviously can't afford pay for his living expenses. The loans he qualifies for are obviously limited, due to his families financial situation.
He has raised enough for the first 2 years so far, but needs enough to cover the last 2 years and get his degree.
