Nathan is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a nursing degree at the Toledo Institute of Technology, and is one semester away from graduating. He has worked as a library assistant to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $4,400. The registrar has said Nathan can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Nathan has a 3.9 average, and a faculty supervisor has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Nathan would lose his place and scholarship eligibility. Nathan 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 $4,400 goes: • Textbooks and materials: $340 • Final term tuition: $1,250 • Outstanding tuition balance: $2,810 Every share and every dollar helps. - Cynthia

Updates from Cynthia

  1. We're at 26% thanks to 23 of you. I met with the university and confirmed the amounts. More news soon.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($580 in total) I made the first payment toward final term tuition. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Quick update: $130 raised so far (3%). I met with the university and confirmed the amounts. Receipts coming as soon as I have them. - Cynthia
