One semester away: help Oluwaseun graduate from Kaduna State College

A first-generation student, Oluwaseun needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a teaching qualification.

Kaduna
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a teaching qualification at Kaduna 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 $1,000. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.9 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. The payment will go directly to the Kaduna State College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $1,000 goes: • Textbooks and materials: $30 • Outstanding tuition balance: $450 • Final term tuition: $520 Thanks for being kind about this.
