Funmilayo's final semester of a nursing degree in Lagos
Funmilayo has worked and saved for five years to study a nursing degree; a $450 gap now stands between her and graduation.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a nursing degree at Lagos Polytechnic, and I'm one semester away from graduating. I have worked as a warehouse packer to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $450.
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 professor 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.
The payment will go directly to the Lagos Polytechnic bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $450 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $220
• Final term tuition: $170
• Exam and lab fees: $40
• Textbooks and materials: $20
With deep gratitude,
Funmilayo

is there anything that isn't money that would help Funmilayo?
Hang in there. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
You're not alone, Funmilayo. I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
