Ribeirão Preto
Gabriel is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a degree in civil engineering at Ribeirão Preto University, and is one term away from graduating. He has worked as a warehouse packer to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $1,000. The registrar has said Gabriel can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Gabriel has a distinction average, and an academic advisor has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Gabriel would lose his place and scholarship eligibility. Gabriel isn't asking for a handout - He wants to finish what He started and help the next student. Everything raised goes to the university's accounts office toward the outstanding balance and the final term's fees. Where the $1,000 goes: • Textbooks and materials: $35 • Outstanding tuition balance: $670 • Final term tuition: $295 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Sérgio
