I'm a student at the University of Calabar, Cross River State, and I'm reaching out because I'm facing some tough financial times. As a determined individual, I'm committed to making the most of my education and creating a better future for myself and my loved ones.Despite the challenges, I've been working hard to keep my grades up and stay focused on my goals. But I could really use some help to overcome the financial hurdles. Your support would mean a lot to me and help me:- Cover tuition fees and academic expenses- Pay for accommodation and living costs- Get the study materials I needI'm looking forward to achieving my educational successes and giving back to my community. Your contribution can make a big difference in my journey.
I am a 300 level student in the University of Lagos studying Computer Engineering and I have a strong passion for embedded systems and Internet of Things. I am currently on a CGPA of 4.87 because of my dedication and consistency in achieving academic excellence and this places me as the best student in my department currently. I am determined to maintain this academic feat and this is one of the reasons why I deserve the support. My goal since I entered the University of Lagos has been to finish as the best student in my department and I am consistently working towards it. Secondly, I am passionate about contributing to my community. Since my second year as an undergraduate, I have organized tutorials before examinations so as to assists my peers in difficult courses we offer. It has been demanding but I know that making people within my reach happy is fulfilling. Having the passion to serve my community, one of my goals this year is to serve as the Welfare secretary of my department and this is with the intention of promoting academic excellence in the department and organize seminars that help students discover and align with their areas of interest.Also, I should be given this support because of my intention to guide younger students in 200 level on the importance of academic excellence and how they can set themselves apart for scholarship opportunities. I want people not to lose interest in applying for scholarships just because of many past rejections. This is to create a culture of excellence and resilience among present students.I should also be given this support because of my plans to achieve my long term goals. I plan to develop intelligent systems that improves efficiency in the healthcare sector. Working on real-world solutions by building prototypes rather than just simulations can make this possible. Part of the scholarship, will be used to get myself resources such as an Arduino kit and an ESP32 microcontroller to accelerate my journey into embedded systems. In my recent project which I simulated, I designed an automatic traffic light system which adjusts based on real-time number of vehicles on each lane. With access to resources, I would have built a prototype and test it in real world scenarios.This scholarship will be more than just financial support but a form of motivation to keep striving to be the best I can be with the mindset that the fundraiser is investing in my potentials. I will ensure I continue with the strive for excellence, continue to engage in community service and ensure I continue to build on my technical skills and soft skills so as to achieve my long term goals and create impact as a future leader.
My name is Hannatu Sati Ribah, a Registered Nurse currently pursuing a Master’s Degree in Public Health (MPH) in Health Promotion and Prevention Control at the Ahmadu Bello University Zaria, Nigeria. My journey into public health began from my years of dedicated service as a Nursing Officer, I worked closely with patients from diverse backgrounds. Over time, I witnessed how preventable diseases and poor access to health information continue to affect individuals and families, especially in rural and underserved communities. These experiences deeply shaped me, this resolve to transition from curative care to preventive health practice where I can make a broader and more sustainable impact. Enrolling in the MPH program at the Ahmadu Bello University Distance learning program, one of Nigeria’s leading institutions for public health training, has been a defining step in my professional development. The program has exposed me to advanced concepts in epidemiology, health promotion, and disease prevention, as well as practical research and intervention design. Through my coursework and field experience, I have developed a deeper understanding of how community-based health programs can effectively reduce disease burden and improve quality of life. However, the financial aspect of this academic pursuit has been a major challenge. The school fees for both the first and second semesters were paid through borrowed funds, which I am still struggling to repay while managing my living and study expenses. Despite working diligently, my limited income cannot adequately cover repayment and the upcoming academic requirements, including tuition for the next sessions, research materials, and dissertation costs. I am therefore appealing for financial assistance or sponsorship to support the successful completion of my MPH degree. Your support will not only ease my financial burden but will also help me continue developing the skills and expertise needed to serve communities more effectively. Upon completion of this program, my goal is to contribute to public health policy, community health education, and preventive programs, particularly in rural areas where health awareness and access remain limited. I believe that strengthening prevention and health promotion efforts is the key to achieving lasting improvements in national health outcomes. Thank you for considering my request and for your potential support in helping me fulfill this mission of advancing public health and improving community well-being. The fee will go a long way in supporting me .
