Selamawit is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a computer science degree at Addis Ababa Community College, and is one term away from graduating. She has worked as a night-shift cleaner to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $450. The registrar has said Selamawit can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Selamawit has a 3.8 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 Selamawit would lose her place and scholarship eligibility. Selamawit isn't asking for a handout - She wants to finish what She 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 $450 goes: • Final term tuition: $410 • Textbooks and materials: $20 • Exam and lab fees: $20 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
