Tuition Support Appeal

My name is Jeremiah Ndidi Erue, and I am currently pursuing my Bachelor's degree at SBS - Saigon Business School(American Polytechnic College) in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, where I am studying Computing/ Data Analytics.

My Academic Journey

This semester has been far more than a routine term of course work; it has been a defining chapter in my academic and personal development. I have maintained consistent attendance, demonstrated unwavering commitment to my studies, and navigated an intensive academic workload while simultaneously supporting myself financially. This dedication did not go unnoticed: I was honoured to receive an Outstanding Student Award this term, a recognition that reflects both my academic performance and my determination to excel despite challenging circumstances.

Current Situation

Until recently, I was sustaining myself through remote contract work alongside my studies. Balancing professional responsibilities with academic demands was challenging, but it enabled me to remain enrolled, focused, and self-sufficient. Unfortunately, that contract has now concluded.

Despite actively pursuing new opportunities, I have been unable to secure alternative remote or part-time employment. As a Black, African foreign student in Vietnam, access to flexible work is significantly limited. Navigating employment opportunities here involves substantial barriers, visa restrictions, limited remote job availability, and the complexities of working legally as an international student all of which make generating immediate income exceptionally difficult.

I am now barely able to cover essential living expenses and no longer have the financial resources required to complete this semester.

The Urgency

Last week, I received a final notice from my university regarding my outstanding tuition balance.

I have five days to raise the required amount.

If I am unable to meet this deadline, I will not be permitted to complete this semester. This means that all the coursework I have already submitted, the assessments I have passed, the progress I have made, and the academic recognition I have earned will be forfeited.

This situation is not the result of poor planning, lack of effort, or wavering commitment. I have done everything within my power to remain on track. I am simply facing a financial gap that I cannot bridge alone within the limited time remaining.

How You Can Help

This fundraiser is an urgent appeal to bridge that gap so that I may remain enrolled and complete the semester I have worked so hard for.

Fundraising Goal: 1500 USD

Deadline: 30/12/2025

Purpose: Tuition fees and essential academic costs

Every contribution, regardless of size, brings me closer to completing my education. Your support will go directly toward tuition and necessary academic expenses.

In Closing

Thank you sincerely to everyone who takes the time to read this and consider supporting me at this critical juncture. Your generosity and compassion will not be forgotten. For full transparency, I have included supporting documentation with this fundraiser, including my course list for the current semester, the final reminder email from the university’s finance department, and confirmation of the exact fees required to be paid in order to complete the semester.

With heartfelt gratitude,
