2023 African Games gold medalist, Evans Cadman Yamoah, says his current situation has left him 'sad and stranded' as he seeks support.
The Ghanaian is no longer eligible for the NCAA scholarship having spent two years competing in the collegiate system in Ghana.
The high jumper is on the verge of being unenrolled from school as he faces expulsion for failure to pay tuition fees, which amount to over $15,000.
Speaking on Joy FM's Game Plan, Cadman reveals the situation has been an unpleasant experience.
"At this point, I'm sad, I'm stranded," he said.
"This is not what I would have expected for myself. I wanted more for myself and my country. However, circumstances have brought me this way."
Cadman is calling on support from individuals, corporate Ghana and responsible authorities to help resolve the outing fees.
"I'm pleading with everyone who is able to come to my aid to pay for this tuition and I know once this is paid for, I am going put in the work and all the energy to bring joy back to every Ghanaian," he added.
"There are more games ahead, and more opportunities to tap into so I just want everything back and I believe in myself to put joy on the faces of every Ghanaian as I did a few months ago."
The former University of Ghana student, roared on by students of the university who had trooped to support their alumnus, scaled a height of 2.23m to claim the gold ahead of Morocco's Hammouda Saad and South Africa's Benjamin Links Mpho during the African Games in March.
