I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a nursing degree at the Addis Ababa Institute of Technology, 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 $500.
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 professor 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: $35
• Final term tuition: $300
• Outstanding tuition balance: $165

Stay strong. Your post was clear and honest. Don't give up
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Kidus?
Thank you. If you're in Addis Ababa I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. I'll keep the page updated.
Sending love, Kidus. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. Put this on a community board in Sacramento this morning!

How is Kidus doing now?

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Kidus
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. textbooks and materials is the biggest at $35. It helps to be asked.
Wishing you peace, Kidus. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We're a small family in Madina but we're thinking of you. Love from Madina.
