Krishna's final semester of a diploma in hospitality management in Nagpur

Krishna is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a diploma in hospitality management at the Nagpur Institute of Technology, and is two terms away from graduating. He has worked as a warehouse packer to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $550. The registrar has said Krishna can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Krishna has a 3.9 average, and a department head has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Krishna would lose his place and scholarship eligibility. Krishna 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 $550 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $250 • Final term tuition: $230 • Exam and lab fees: $20 • Textbooks and materials: $50 Thank you for reading my story. - Neelam
