With a combination of scholarship money from running on the track team, a student loan, some financial aid and the bit of cash he earns from working 30 hours a week at his part-time job, Nate Martin has been able to — though just barely — cover his tuition and expenses at Westminster College in Salt Lake City.
Though he knew it would be expensive, the freshman athlete was recruited to run and excited to study business at the private school. But last month, the college announced a massive new tuition increase.
Now, even with all he scrapes together, Martin is worried he won’t be able to continue at Westminster.
