Tuition fund for Nathan: a law degree at Auckland Community College
A first-generation student, Nathan needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a law degree.
🇳🇿 Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand1,926 views
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a law degree at Auckland Community College, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a barista to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $5,300.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.8 average, and my department head 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.
The payment will go directly to the Auckland Community College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $5,300 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $2,700
• Final term tuition: $2,200
• Exam and lab fees: $240
• Textbooks and materials: $160
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Wishing you the best. This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
wishing you the best, Nathan. Hope you get there. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
You're not alone. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 18 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
Praying for you, Nathan. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Leipzig.
You're not alone. Your post was clear and honest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Take care!
Rooting for you, Nathan. Hope this works out for you. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Auckland!
