I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a diploma in hospitality management at Nagoya State College, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a barista to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $1,700. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a top-ten-percent average, and my faculty supervisor 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 $1,700 goes: • Exam and lab fees: $150 • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,350 • Textbooks and materials: $200 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

      Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Nao

      • Nao Mai GotoOwnerAnswer

        Sure. The biggest one is exam and lab fees, $150. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. It helps to be asked.
