Asaba
Gbenga is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a degree in social work at Asaba Polytechnic, and is one semester 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 $350. The registrar has said Gbenga can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Gbenga has a distinction average, and a department head has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Gbenga would lose his place and scholarship eligibility. Gbenga isn't asking for a handout - He wants to finish what He 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 $350 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $135 • Final term tuition: $150 • Exam and lab fees: $40 • Textbooks and materials: $25 If you're reading this, thank you.
