Badagry
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a computer science degree at Badagry Polytechnic, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a library assistant to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $450. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.6 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 $450 goes: • Textbooks and materials: $45 • Exam and lab fees: $15 • Final term tuition: $390 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Updates from Okechukwu

  1. Thank you all. We're at 40% now ($179). I'm honestly stunned. we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($119 in total) the plan for textbooks and materials is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
