Tuition fund for Ahmed: an agriculture degree at Cape Town University
A first-generation student, Ahmed needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of an agriculture degree.
🇿🇦 8000, Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa1,481 views
Ahmed is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying an agriculture degree at Cape Town University, 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 $800.
The registrar has said Ahmed can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Ahmed has a 3.9 average, and an academic advisor has written in support.
Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Ahmed would lose his place and scholarship eligibility.
Ahmed isn't asking for a handout - He wants to finish what He started and help the next student.
The payment will go directly to the Cape Town University bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $800 goes:
• Exam and lab fees: $95
• Textbooks and materials: $30
• Outstanding tuition balance: $675
I hope life is good to you.

Thinking of you. Study hard! Blessings.
Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. My husband and I read this together. Take care.
So sorry you're going through this, Dumisani. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Blessings
Hang in there, Dumisani. Looking forward to the next update. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
you're not alone, Dumisani. This could happen to any of us!
Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Cape Town.
Hope things get better soon. Shared this with my family. After 11 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
Hope it all works out. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Latina.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Saket but we're thinking of you.
Sending love, Dumisani. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors.
