One semester away: help Kingsley graduate from Lagos State College

Kingsley has worked and saved for three years to study a master's in public health; a $505 gap now stands between him and graduation.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a master's in public health at Lagos State College, and I'm one term 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 $505. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a first-class 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 $505 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $175 • Final term tuition: $290 • Exam and lab fees: $35 • Textbooks and materials: $5 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Updates from Kingsley

  1. Wanted to say thank you properly. 97% funded and the plan for final term tuition is now scheduled.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 81% now ($407). I'm honestly stunned. we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. - Kingsley

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($155 in total) I made the first payment toward outstanding tuition balance. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
