Ronaldo is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a nursing degree at Santarém Community College, and is one term away from graduating. He has worked as a shop assistant to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $950. The registrar has said Ronaldo can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Ronaldo has a top-ten-percent average, and a faculty supervisor has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Ronaldo would lose his place and scholarship eligibility. Ronaldo isn't asking for a handout - He wants to finish what He started and help the next student. The payment will go directly to the Santarém Community College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $950 goes: • Textbooks and materials: $30 • Outstanding tuition balance: $290 • Final term tuition: $630 Thanks for reading all this. - Fernanda
