Nolan is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a degree in civil engineering at Oakland University, and is one semester away from graduating. He has worked as a night-shift cleaner to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $5,650.
The registrar has said Nolan can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Nolan has a 3.6 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 Nolan would lose his place and scholarship eligibility.
Nolan isn't asking for a handout - He wants to finish what He started and help the next student.
The payment will go directly to the Oakland University bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $5,650 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $1,900
• Final term tuition: $3,400
• Exam and lab fees: $115
• Textbooks and materials: $235
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Nolan.
hang in there, Sebastian. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings.
take care, Sebastian. Your post was clear and honest. Put this on a community board in Leeds this morning.
Thinking of you and your family. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out
Praying for you, Sebastian. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
Sending love, Sebastian. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Jakarta Selatan
