<human>: Can you condense the text into a few key points?

Fairly straightforward, I think, but there's a bit of backstory. Bear with me. A close friend of mine (we'll call him Dave) and I met last year in September when I switched schools and ended up in the same dorm-style res at boarding school. He was the head of house, which means the house voted him in the year before to lead the house in a number of different things. He was a role model. He still is. Mine. Dave helped me on a number of occasions where I found myself swamped with strife and bogged down from every which way, and he's come through and saved my hide. An athlete and a scholar, he's the very personification of qualities like compassion, understanding, and patience, as well as a friendly disposition and a perpetual willingness to sacrifice what he has in order to help. He is one of the best people I know, but due to financial issues his education is in jeopardy. He simply can't afford university, but he's determined to stay any way he can. However, he's also fiercely proud, and may be against my looking to help. I'd really like to find an unobtrusive way to help without making him feel like I'm parading his struggle for all the world to see. I sincerely just want him to stay at school, and I know if I were in his shoes he'd be busting his ass to find some way to keep me here.
<bot>: A good friend of mine whom I respect very much is experiencing financial troubles that are putting his continued enrolment at university in jeopardy. Is there any way to delicately help?
