Carlo is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying an electrical engineering diploma at Chicago Polytechnic, and is one semester away from graduating. He has worked as a delivery rider to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $2,750.
The registrar has said Carlo can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Carlo has a distinction average, and a faculty supervisor has written in support.
Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Carlo would lose his place and scholarship eligibility.
Carlo isn't asking for a handout - He wants to finish what He started and help the next student.
The payment will go directly to the Chicago Polytechnic bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $2,750 goes:
• Final term tuition: $1,450
• Outstanding tuition balance: $1,200
• Exam and lab fees: $100
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Carlo.
Final term tuition is $1,450 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Good question.
hang in there. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Mysuru donated after I showed her your page. All the best
Shared this with my family. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Chicago.
Hang in there, Samuel. Hope you get there. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Hope you get there. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Chicago
