Oskar is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a diploma in hospitality management at Augsburg University, 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 $4,950.
The registrar has said Oskar can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Oskar has a 3.9 average, and a professor has written in support.
Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Oskar would lose his place and scholarship eligibility.
Oskar 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 Augsburg University bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $4,950 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $1,850
• Final term tuition: $2,750
• Exam and lab fees: $150
• Textbooks and materials: $200
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Looking forward to the next update. Wish I lived closer to Cần Thơ so I could bring a meal.
Sending good thoughts, Laura. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
Sending good thoughts. Hope this works out for you. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best
looking forward to the next update. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like!
So sorry you're going through this, Laura. I hope things turn around soon. Blessings.
Wishing you the best, Laura. Study hard! Don't give up. Blessings.
I hope things turn around soon. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Rome.
