A first-generation student, Tomás needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of an electrical engineering diploma.
🇦🇷 Buenos Aires, Buenos Aires, Argentina2,148 views
Tomás is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying an electrical engineering diploma at the Buenos Aires Institute of Technology, and is two terms away from graduating. He has worked as a library assistant to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $1,250.
The registrar has said Tomás can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Tomás has a 3.6 average, and a professor has written in support.
Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Tomás would lose his place and scholarship eligibility.
Tomás 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 $1,250 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $680
• Final term tuition: $410
• Exam and lab fees: $75
• Textbooks and materials: $85

It takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Colombo but we're thinking of you. All the best.
Your post was clear and honest. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
