A large number of students who attend the University of Memphis might be forced to return to their home country, Ghana.
University of Memphis President Bill Hardgrave joined Action News 5’s Better Memphis show on Wednesday to speak on the status of his students.
He said the students are sponsored by the government, which has not paid the students’ tuition yet.
The students will have until August 9 to find a way to make the payment, or they will have to vacate the country, according to the Daily Memphian.
“I think there was a regime change in Ghana and that affected the budget, but we’re hopeful that gets corrected because we love to keep those students on campus”, Hardgrave said.
The Daily Memphian also reported that Ghana owes the University of Memphis $3.6 million.
Anyone willing to help donate can to the Gary Shorb International Student Support Fund.
