MoDSU gave me a community far from home. When I arrived at university not knowing anyone, MoDSU connected me with fellow Moyamba students who became my second family.

The leadership workshops changed how I think and communicate. I went from being too shy to speak in class to confidently presenting at a national advocacy forum — all because of MoDSU.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is eligible to join MoDSU?
Any student currently enrolled in a tertiary institution, university, or college who is a native or resident of Moyamba District is eligible to join MoDSU as an ordinary member. All genders, backgrounds, and institutions are welcome. Secondary school pupils from Moyamba District may also join as junior associate members.
How much does membership cost?
MoDSU charges annual membership dues which are set by the General Assembly and reviewed periodically. The exact amount will be communicated to you during your application review. Dues are used to fund MoDSU programs, events, and operations. Members in genuine financial hardship may apply to the Welfare Officer for consideration.
Can I join if I study outside Sierra Leone?
Currently, MoDSU's membership is primarily for students studying within Sierra Leone. However, alumni and students studying abroad who are from Moyamba District are welcome to engage with MoDSU as associate members or supporters. Please reach out to us directly to discuss your specific situation.
How do I become a campus chapter leader?
Campus Chapter leaders are elected by members at each respective campus or institution. To be eligible, you must first be an active MoDSU member in good standing, be enrolled at that institution, and meet any additional eligibility requirements set by MoDSU's Electoral Commission. Elections are held periodically at each chapter level.
What happens if I graduate — do I lose my membership?
Upon graduation, ordinary members transition to associate member status as alumni of MoDSU. Alumni remain an important part of the MoDSU community as mentors, advisors, and advocates. We encourage all graduates to stay connected and continue contributing to MoDSU's mission even after completing their studies.
How long does the application review take?
Applications are typically reviewed within 3–5 working days. You will receive a confirmation message via email or WhatsApp with the next steps including payment of dues and issuance of your membership card. If you do not hear back within one week, please follow up through our Facebook page or contact the Secretary General directly.
