Help me finish a computer science degree at Entebbe State College - $600 to go
A first-generation student, Jepkoech needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a computer science degree.
🇺🇬 Entebbe, Central Region, Uganda697 views
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a computer science degree at Entebbe State College, and I'm two terms 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 $600.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.8 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.
Everything raised goes to the university's accounts office toward the outstanding balance and the final term's fees.
Where the $600 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $145
• Final term tuition: $390
• Exam and lab fees: $15
• Textbooks and materials: $50
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Hang in there. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless.
You're not alone. Study hard! My neighbor in Edinburgh donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
Your post was clear and honest. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Entebbe.
Praying for you, Jepkoech. Shared it with a few friends
looking forward to the next update. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Riyadh.
