I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in civil engineering at Lagos Community College, 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 $400.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a top-ten-percent 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.
The payment will go directly to the Lagos Community College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $400 goes:
• Textbooks and materials: $20
• Final term tuition: $185
• Outstanding tuition balance: $195
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

You're not alone, Temitope. Shared this with my family. God bless.
Hang in there. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Sent it to 11 people at work. Blessings
Praying for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings.
