Tuition fund for Girma: a computer science degree at Addis Ababa Community College
A first-generation student, Girma needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a computer science degree.
🇪🇹 Addis Ababa, Ethiopia1,305 views
Girma is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a computer science degree at Addis Ababa Community College, and is one semester away from graduating. He has worked as a tutor to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $500.
The registrar has said Girma can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Girma has a 3.6 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 Girma would lose his place and scholarship eligibility.
Girma 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 $500 goes:
• Final term tuition: $270
• Textbooks and materials: $30
• Outstanding tuition balance: $200
Thank you so much.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Girma?
Thinking of you and your family. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Sandton but we're thinking of you.
how is Girma doing now?
Thanks for sharing this, Samuel. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. Blessings.
Sending good thoughts, Samuel. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. Wish I lived closer to Agra so I could bring a meal. All the best.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Girma.
Final term tuition is $270 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. It helps to be asked.
sending love. Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
Thinking of you and your family, Samuel. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Take care.
