I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in social work at Kumasi University, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a shop assistant 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 top-ten-percent 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:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $310
• Exam and lab fees: $60
• Final term tuition: $430
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Keep going, Ernestina. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn.
