Samuel's final semester of an accounting degree in Nairobi
A first-generation student, Samuel needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of an accounting degree.
🇰🇪 Nairobi, Nairobi, Kenya309 views
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying an accounting degree at Nairobi University, and I'm one term 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 $650.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a first-class 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.
Everything raised goes to the university's accounts office toward the outstanding balance and the final term's fees.
Where the $650 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $200
• Final term tuition: $370
• Exam and lab fees: $50
• Textbooks and materials: $30
With deep gratitude,
Samuel
