Onitsha
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in social work at the Onitsha Institute of Technology, 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 $500. 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 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 $500 goes: • Textbooks and materials: $25 • Final term tuition: $430 • Exam and lab fees: $45 With deep gratitude, Queen

      stay strong, Queen. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.

        Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Queen

          Textbooks and materials is $25 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Happy to explain more.

        so sorry you're going through this. Hope you get there. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings

          Keep going, Queen. This could happen to any of us. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Parma

          • Akash K. Kushwaha

            praying for you, Queen. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best.
