Lagos
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a computer science degree at Lagos Community College, and I'm one semester away from graduating. I have worked as a delivery rider to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $700. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a first-class average, and my faculty supervisor 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 Community College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $700 goes: • Final term tuition: $430 • Textbooks and materials: $30 • Outstanding tuition balance: $240 Every share and every dollar helps. - Garba
