Tuition fund for Festus: a degree in social work at Epe State College
Festus has worked and saved for three years to study a degree in social work; a $700 gap now stands between him and graduation.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in social work at Epe State College, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a shop assistant to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $700.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a top-ten-percent average, and my academic advisor 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 $700 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $220
• Final term tuition: $400
• Exam and lab fees: $45
• Textbooks and materials: $35
Thank you so much.

Good luck, Festus. Shared this with my family. Blessings.
Thinking of you and your family. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out
