Johnson Thomson`s Tuition Fee

Donation protected
Hi there,

My name is Johnson Thomson. Am originally from Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania. On the night of February 27th 2019, I gained admission to one of the most prestigious high schools in Africa, The African Leadership Academy (ALA). Headquartered in South Africa, ALA is a high school that seeks to transform Africa by developing a powerful network of over 6,000 young leaders who will work together to address Africa’s greatest challenges, achieve extraordinary social impact, and accelerate the continent’s growth trajectory. As exciting as this news was to me, I have unfortunately hit a roadblock. Although ALA has awarded me a substantial scholarship, am still required to pay 1,800 USD to consumate my tuition fee. Woefully, I am a child whose parents have refused to take responsibility. I currently dont have any pocket money, and I cant get a job. As a foreign student, am ineligible to work in South Africa. Since I have no other funding sources, I am humbly reaching out for your assistance in helping me cover the tuition costs.

The tuition fee at ALA is 30,900 USD per annum. I have been awarded a scholarship of 30,000 USD per year which covers accomodation, flights to and from Tanzania, and 95% tuition. I have created this campaign so that I can raise 1,800 USD to be used for the tuition-fee settlement for both 2 years at the academy. The academy has given me until the end of the month to come up with a payment for my first year tuition (900 USD). If I can’t make a payment by then, I will be withdrawn from all my classes. I have worked so hard to get here, and being sent home will be a huge blow to my academic career. I have dreams of becoming a computer scientist. As a leadership academy, ALA is more than a school to me. Its a bridge from which I can sharpen my core leadership skills, nurture my talents and gain access to the World`s top universities.

Your contribution, however small it is, can take me a long way in realizing my dreams. I wanna thank you in advance for your generosity. For every donation that I shall receive, I`ll commit to sending regular updates including but not limited to; school reports and personalized thank you cards to all my donors.
