One semester away: help Sônia graduate from São Paulo Polytechnic

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in civil engineering at São Paulo Polytechnic, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a delivery rider to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $1,450. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.8 average, and my academic advisor 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. The payment will go directly to the São Paulo Polytechnic bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $1,450 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $640 • Final term tuition: $640 • Exam and lab fees: $50 • Textbooks and materials: $120 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Sônia
