Isabela's final semester of a computer science degree in São Paulo

Isabela is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a computer science degree at São Paulo State College, and is one semester away from graduating. She has worked as a delivery rider to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $1,200. The registrar has said Isabela can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Isabela 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 Isabela would lose her place and scholarship eligibility. Isabela 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 São Paulo State College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $1,200 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,000 • Exam and lab fees: $85 • Textbooks and materials: $115 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Vanessa
