Help me finish a degree in civil engineering at Lagos State College - $800 to go
A first-generation student, Oluwaseun needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a degree in civil engineering.
🇳🇬 Lagos, Lagos, Nigeria1,184 views
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in civil engineering at Lagos 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 $800.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a distinction average, and my department head 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 $800 goes:
• Exam and lab fees: $20
• Final term tuition: $400
• Outstanding tuition balance: $380
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

best of luck, Oluwaseun. Hope this works out for you. Put this on a community board in Bekasi this morning. Love from Bekasi.
Thinking of you, Oluwaseun. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
rooting for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope November is when things finally get easier. God bless
Hang in there, Oluwaseun. Gave what I could, wish it was more. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Lagos
