A former Howard University student who left school because he couldn’t get a loan has turned to his 4,000 Twitter followers and 10,000 Facebook friends for $4 each to cover his tuition costs.
USA Today reports that the student, Corey Arvinger, argues if each Facebook and Twitter friend pitched in $4, basically the cost of one Starbucks latte, he could go back to school.
So far he’s raised about $2,500.
“People go to Starbucks and spend $4 easily, without even thinking about it,” he told the newspaper. “If you can’t have Starbucks for one day, just one day, and put $4 toward the education of an African American who’s really trying to push to make himself better, then why wouldn’t you help?”
