A first-generation student, William needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a degree in social work.
🇬🇭 Kumasi, Ashanti, Ghana1,504 views
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in social work at Kumasi Polytechnic, 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 3.6 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.
Everything raised goes to the university's accounts office toward the outstanding balance and the final term's fees.
Where the $650 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $410
• Textbooks and materials: $20
• Final term tuition: $220
I hope life is good to you.

you're not alone, William. This could happen to any of us. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.
Sending strength, William. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
