I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a diploma in hospitality management at Belo Horizonte State College, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a library assistant to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $600.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a distinction 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.
The payment will go directly to the Belo Horizonte State College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $600 goes:
• Textbooks and materials: $60
• Exam and lab fees: $90
• Final term tuition: $450

Updates from Mariana
Good news. Because of your gifts ($70 in total) the plan for final term tuition is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 9% funded and I met with the university and confirmed the amounts.
