One semester away: help Amanda graduate from the São Paulo Institute of Technology
A first-generation student, Amanda needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a master's in public health.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a master's in public health at the São Paulo Institute of Technology, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a tutor 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 3.9 average, and my department head 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:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $840
• Final term tuition: $610
• Exam and lab fees: $75
• Textbooks and materials: $75
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Hope things get better soon. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Amanda
It's all in the list in the story. outstanding tuition balance is the big one at $840, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Let me know if you want more detail.
Good luck. This could happen to any of us!
Hope you get there. Please keep us posted. Love from Kasarani.
Wishing you the best, Amanda. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
Sending strength. Study hard!
Thanks for sharing this, Amanda. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. Greetings from Knoxville
