Zoe's final semester of a diploma in hospitality management in Heraklion
A first-generation student, Zoe needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a diploma in hospitality management.
🇬🇷 Greece2,003 views
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a diploma in hospitality management at Heraklion State College, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a shop assistant to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $2,550.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.9 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 $2,550 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $500
• Final term tuition: $1,800
• Exam and lab fees: $60
• Textbooks and materials: $190
Thanks for being kind about this.

Hang in there. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Heraklion.
Thinking of you, Zoe. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. All the best.
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Heraklion!
Good luck with the exams, you've got this. Thinking of Heraklion.
So sorry you're going through this, Zoe. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 17 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings
Good luck. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. After 27 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
Wishing you the best. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. Love from Toledo.
hope it all works out, Zoe. Study hard! We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Epe
Good luck with the exams, you've got this. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out.
