One semester away: help Otávio graduate from the Contagem Institute of Technology

Otávio is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a pharmacy diploma at the Contagem Institute of Technology, and is one semester 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 $1,450. The registrar has said Otávio can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Otávio has a top-ten-percent average, and a department head has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Otávio would lose his place and scholarship eligibility. Otávio 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 $1,450 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $600 • Final term tuition: $650 • Exam and lab fees: $80 • Textbooks and materials: $120 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Guilherme
