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

Nathan is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a diploma in hospitality management at the Oakland Institute of Technology, and is two terms away from graduating. He has worked as a delivery rider to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $4,750.
The registrar has said Nathan can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Nathan has a 3.8 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 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 $4,750 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $2,950
• Final term tuition: $1,350
• Exam and lab fees: $130
• Textbooks and materials: $320
With deep gratitude,
Jacob
