Chioma's final semester of a nursing degree in Lagos
A first-generation student, Chioma needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a nursing degree.
🇳🇬 Lagos, Lagos, Nigeria832 views
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a nursing degree at Lagos University, and I'm one semester away from graduating. I have worked as a tutor to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $250.
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 $250 goes:
• Textbooks and materials: $15
• Final term tuition: $210
• Exam and lab fees: $25
Thank you so much.
