Étienne's final semester of a diploma in hospitality management in Saint-Étienne
Étienne has worked and saved for three years to study a diploma in hospitality management; a $4,750 gap now stands between him and graduation.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a diploma in hospitality management at Saint-Étienne University, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a library assistant to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $4,750.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.6 average, and my professor has written in support of my application for a payment plan.
Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support my younger siblings. Without enrolling this term I'd lose my place and my scholarship eligibility.
I'm not asking for a handout - I want to finish what I started and then 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 $4,750 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $2,150
• Final term tuition: $2,200
• Exam and lab fees: $70
• Textbooks and materials: $330
Thanks for reading all this.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Étienne?
Thank you. If you're in Saint-Étienne I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Good question.
Hope things get better soon. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. My husband and I read this together.
Good luck, Étienne. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. God bless.
thinking of you, Étienne. Looking forward to the next update.
You're not alone. Shared it with a few friends. I'll check back for the next update. God bless.
