I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a law degree at Nairobi State College, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a warehouse packer to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $305.
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 $305 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $250
• Textbooks and materials: $50
• Exam and lab fees: $5

you're not alone, Nyambura. Hope you get there.
hope it all works out. Shared this with my family. My husband and I read this together. Take care.
Keep going. This could happen to any of us. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
