Eldoret
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a pharmacy diploma at the Eldoret Institute of Technology, and I'm one semester 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 $850. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.9 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. The payment will go directly to the the Eldoret Institute of Technology bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $850 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $460 • Final term tuition: $300 • Exam and lab fees: $30 • Textbooks and materials: $60 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - James

      is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for James!

      • James James MwesigwaOwnerAnswer

        Sure. The biggest one is outstanding tuition balance, $460. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Thanks, that means a lot.
