Mateo's final semester of a computer science degree in Córdoba

Mateo has worked and saved for five years to study a computer science degree; a $1,600 gap now stands between him and graduation.

Córdoba
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a computer science degree at Córdoba Community College, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a shop assistant to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $1,600. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a top-ten-percent average, and my professor 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 $1,600 goes: • Final term tuition: $1,350 • Textbooks and materials: $120 • Exam and lab fees: $130 With deep gratitude, Mateo

    Wishing you the best, Mateo. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Kathmandu so I could bring a meal

      Sending strength, Mateo. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
