I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in social work at Awka University, 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 $650. 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 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 $650 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $170 • Final term tuition: $420 • Exam and lab fees: $45 • Textbooks and materials: $15 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Updates from Kayode

  1. Wanted to say thank you properly. 42% funded and I made the first payment toward final term tuition.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 3% now ($20). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the university and confirmed the amounts. - Kayode
