One semester away: help Kwaku graduate from Kumasi University
Kwaku has worked and saved for three years to study a nursing degree; a $450 gap now stands between him and graduation.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a nursing degree at Kumasi University, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a library assistant to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $450.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.6 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 $450 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $160
• Final term tuition: $175
• Exam and lab fees: $40
• Textbooks and materials: $75
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Kwaku
Sure. The biggest one is outstanding tuition balance, $160. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one.
Hope it all works out, Kwaku. Hope this works out for you. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.
Praying for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. God bless
Thinking of you and your family. This could happen to any of us. Sent it to 19 people at work. Thinking of Kumasi.
Best of luck. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. Sent it to 36 people at work. Greetings from Nairobi.
Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Kumasi.
Hope it all works out, Kwaku. I hope things turn around soon.
good luck with the exams, you've got this. Love from Toulouse.
Hope it all works out, Kwaku. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 20 people at work.
Sending good thoughts, Kwaku. Shared it with a few friends. Blessings
