Sebastião is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a pharmacy diploma at the Santos Institute of Technology, and is one semester away from graduating. He has worked as a delivery rider to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $2,150.
The registrar has said Sebastião can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Sebastião 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 Sebastião would lose his place and scholarship eligibility.
Sebastião 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 the Santos Institute of Technology bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $2,150 goes:
• Textbooks and materials: $125
• Final term tuition: $930
• Outstanding tuition balance: $1,095
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Hope it all works out, Jéssica. Your post was clear and honest. Put this on a community board in Mumbai this morning. Blessings.
Hang in there, Jéssica. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Sebastião?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about textbooks and materials, advice is welcome too. It helps to be asked.
This could happen to any of us. Love from Makassar.

Your post was clear and honest. After 13 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
