Uche's final semester of a diploma in hospitality management in Lagos

Uche is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a diploma in hospitality management at Lagos University, and is two terms away from graduating. She has worked as a night-shift cleaner to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $550. The registrar has said Uche can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Uche has a 3.6 average, and an academic advisor has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Uche would lose her place and scholarship eligibility. Uche isn't asking for a handout - She wants to finish what She started and help the next student. The payment will go directly to the Lagos University bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $550 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $310 • Final term tuition: $170 • Exam and lab fees: $20 • Textbooks and materials: $50 With deep gratitude, Blessing
