I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a master's in public health at Asaba Community College, 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 $900. 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 faculty supervisor 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 $900 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $360 • Final term tuition: $490 • Exam and lab fees: $25 • Textbooks and materials: $25 Thanks for being kind about this. - Peace

Updates from Peace

  1. Wanted to say thank you properly. 71% funded and we've started the first stage.

  2. Small update. $375 so far, I met with the university and confirmed the amounts.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($165 in total) I made the first payment toward final term tuition. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

              thinking of you and your family. Your post was clear and honest. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
