• Currently, in her final year at Howard University, Yinsaya risks not graduating because the lack of money to pay for tuition has become a problem
• Social media users, who took to the comments section of the video, sympathised with her

A young Ghanaian lady, Yinsaya, who relocated to the US in 2022 to pursue tertiary education, has encountered a setback and has decided to speak out.

This comes after she took to social media on July 3 to disclose that she risks not graduating from the prestigious Howard University due to her inability to pay her fees.

In a video sighted by YEN.com.gh, the young lady, currently pursuing a Bachelor's in Health Science and in her final year, stated she has not been able to register for her classes due to unpaid fees.

The brilliant student also lamented that she is restricted in her ability to work and earn money because of the 20-hour work limit on international students.

Yinsaya, who has a GPA of 3.97, said efforts by her father in Ghana to help pay her fees had failed due to the huge amounts involved.

The young lady, who hopes to become a Physician Assistant, has a tuition balance of $29,212 but must urgently pay $13,671 by July 31st in order to register for classes this fall semester and graduate in December 2025.

She has appealed to all individuals, groups, and organisations to come to her aid so her dream of becoming a Physician Assistant could come to fruition.

At the time of writing the report, the touching video had raked in over 10,000 likes and 1,500 comments.
