I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in social work at the Pelotas Institute of Technology, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a delivery rider to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $1,150. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.6 average, and my faculty supervisor has written in support of my application for a payment plan. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support my younger siblings. Without enrolling this term I'd lose my place and my scholarship eligibility. I'm not asking for a handout - I want to finish what I started and then 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 $1,150 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $330 • Final term tuition: $660 • Exam and lab fees: $50 • Textbooks and materials: $110 Every share and every dollar helps.
