Aisha's final semester of an agriculture degree in Zaria
Aisha has worked and saved for five years to study an agriculture degree; a $800 gap now stands between her and graduation.
🇳🇬 Zaria, Kaduna, Nigeria1,226 views
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying an agriculture degree at the Zaria Institute of Technology, 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 $800.
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 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.
Everything raised goes to the university's accounts office toward the outstanding balance and the final term's fees.
Where the $800 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $350
• Final term tuition: $400
• Textbooks and materials: $50
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Updates from Aisha
Thank you all. We're at 63% now ($500). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the university and confirmed the amounts.
Quick update: $285 raised so far (36%). I made the first payment toward textbooks and materials. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

Rooting for you. I hope things turn around soon. I have a 16 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Zaria.
Sending love. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.
keep going, Aisha. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best.
