Paul is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a master's in public health at Awka State College, and is one term away from graduating. He has worked as a shop assistant to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $750. The registrar has said Paul can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Paul has a 3.6 average, and a professor has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Paul would lose his place and scholarship eligibility. Paul isn't asking for a handout - He wants to finish what He started and 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 $750 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $190 • Final term tuition: $470 • Exam and lab fees: $15 • Textbooks and materials: $75 Thank you for reading my story.
