Tomás's final semester of a diploma in hospitality management in Los Angeles
A first-generation student, Tomás needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a diploma in hospitality management.
Anywhere in the world1,886 views
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a diploma in hospitality management at Los Angeles University, and I'm one semester away from graduating. I have worked as a delivery rider to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $3,900.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.6 average, and my academic advisor has written in support of my application for a payment plan.
Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support my younger siblings. Without enrolling this term I'd lose my place and my scholarship eligibility.
I'm not asking for a handout - I want to finish what I started and then 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 $3,900 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $2,250
• Exam and lab fees: $240
• Final term tuition: $1,410
Every share and every dollar helps.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Tomás
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. outstanding tuition balance comes first ($2,250) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Ask me anything else.
sending good thoughts, Tomás. Study hard! I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings.

As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. It's not much but it's yours. Take care
Good luck. Shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
