Henry is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying an electrical engineering diploma at the Gwagwalada Institute of Technology, and is one term away from graduating. He has worked as a barista to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $700.
The registrar has said Henry can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Henry has a distinction average, and a professor has written in support.
Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Henry would lose his place and scholarship eligibility.
Henry isn't asking for a handout - He wants to finish what He started and 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 $700 goes:
• Final term tuition: $370
• Outstanding tuition balance: $300
• Exam and lab fees: $30
Thank you for reading my story.

Shared this with my family. After 27 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Gwagwalada
