I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in civil engineering at Lagos University, and I'm one term 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 $650.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a top-ten-percent 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 Lagos University bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $650 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $320
• Final term tuition: $260
• Exam and lab fees: $25
• Textbooks and materials: $45
With deep gratitude,
Usman

Wanted to say thank you properly. 6% funded and I made the first payment toward outstanding tuition balance.
Thank you all. We're at 6% now ($40). I'm honestly stunned. the first invoice got paid this week.
Small update. $30 so far, I made the first payment toward outstanding tuition balance.

this could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Medina but we're thinking of you.
it takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Warsaw
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
study hard! I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
