Tuition fund for Okello: a law degree at Mombasa State College
Okello has worked and saved for three years to study a law degree; a $800 gap now stands between him and graduation.
🇰🇪 Mombasa, Mombasa, Kenya738 views
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a law degree at Mombasa State College, and I'm one semester away from graduating. I have worked as a tutor to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $800.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a distinction average, and my department head 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 Mombasa State College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $800 goes:
• Textbooks and materials: $55
• Outstanding tuition balance: $165
• Final term tuition: $580
I hope life is good to you.
