Help a Future Clifford Chance Trainee Finish His Law Degree

My brilliant Nigerian mentee has secured a training contract with Clifford Chance, one of the world’s leading law firms. However, despite his incredible achievements and bright future, he faces a financial hurdle that could hinder his dreams. He’s now £400 short of covering his final year of tuition. This amount may seem small, but it stands between him and the future he’s worked so hard to build.

A word from Oluwaseun:

"Hello, everyone.

I sincerely apologise for doing this but I am in desperate need of help, and I sincerely don't know where else to turn

I'm Oluwaseun, the first child in a family of 8, being the first in my family to attend a university. I am currently a first-class final year law student at Elizade University. My tuition fee was recently increased to £800, minus other expenses. However, considering the current economic condition which has significantly affected my family, I am unable to pay the fees. Without paying this fee upon resumption in October, I risk losing my studentship. As a result, I'm exploring all possible options to manage the situation. At the moment, I have secured half of the fee, and I'm here, appealing to you for the remaining half: £400.

It is never my intent to cause any discomfort or exploit your generosity. However, this situation is tight and heart-wrenching, particularly because I have invested a lot into my academic journey and can't risk losing it all at this point.

I am doing this with all the hope and desperation in my heart, praying that you will find it in your heart to help me."

We have an opportunity to make a significant impact on his life by helping him close this gap. Your support will not only help him complete his education but also ensure that he can step into his role at Clifford Chance with confidence and without the burden of financial stress.

Thank you for making a difference in this promising young lawyer's life!
