Kioko is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a degree in civil engineering at Kampala Polytechnic, and is one semester away from graduating. He has worked as a tutor to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $250. The registrar has said Kioko can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Kioko has a 3.8 average, and an academic advisor has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Kioko would lose his place and scholarship eligibility. Kioko isn't asking for a handout - He wants to finish what He started and help the next student. The payment will go directly to the Kampala Polytechnic bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $250 goes: • Final term tuition: $210 • Exam and lab fees: $25 • Textbooks and materials: $15 Thanks for being kind about this.
