Eliane's final semester of an accounting degree in Rio de Janeiro

Eliane is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying an accounting degree at Rio de Janeiro State College, and is one semester away from graduating. She has worked as a night-shift cleaner to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $1,050. The registrar has said Eliane can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Eliane has a first-class average, and a department head has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Eliane would lose her place and scholarship eligibility. Eliane isn't asking for a handout - She wants to finish what She started and help the next student. The payment will go directly to the Rio de Janeiro State College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $1,050 goes: • Final term tuition: $930 • Textbooks and materials: $50 • Exam and lab fees: $70 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Sônia
