One semester away: help Lanre graduate from Ogbomosho Polytechnic
A first-generation student, Lanre needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a computer science degree.
🇳🇬 Oyo, Nigeria1,231 views
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a computer science degree at Ogbomosho Polytechnic, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a tutor to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $500.
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 $500 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $120
• Final term tuition: $320
• Exam and lab fees: $35
• Textbooks and materials: $25
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Study hard! Please keep us posted. Thinking of Ogbomosho
wishing you the best, Lanre. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope December is when things finally get easier.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Lanre.
The list at the bottom is the whole picture. outstanding tuition balance is the biggest at $120. I'll keep the page updated.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Jakarta
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Lanre?
Thank you. If you're in Ogbomosho I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Good question.
education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. Greetings from San Nicolás de los Garza
