Tuition fund for Jayden: a diploma in hospitality management at Auckland State College
Jayden has worked and saved for three years to study a diploma in hospitality management; a $5,150 gap now stands between him and graduation.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a diploma in hospitality management at Auckland State College, and I'm one semester away from graduating. I have worked as a tutor to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $5,150.
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 professor 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 $5,150 goes:
• Exam and lab fees: $280
• Outstanding tuition balance: $2,150
• Final term tuition: $2,720
Thank you for reading my story.
