One semester away: help Verónica graduate from Puebla Polytechnic

Verónica has worked and saved for four years to study a degree in civil engineering; a $1,850 gap now stands between her and graduation.

Verónica is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a degree in civil engineering at Puebla Polytechnic, and is one semester away from graduating. She has worked as a library assistant to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $1,850. The registrar has said Verónica can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Verónica has a 3.8 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 Verónica would lose her place and scholarship eligibility. Verónica isn't asking for a handout - She wants to finish what She 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 $1,850 goes: • Final term tuition: $1,150 • Exam and lab fees: $30 • Outstanding tuition balance: $670 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Bruno

          Thank you. If you're in Puebla I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. I'll keep the page updated.

            • Aminata Rokhaya KouyatéQuestion

              Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Verónica.

              • Bruno K. VelascoOwnerAnswerVerified organizationPhoto verified

                Final term tuition is $1,150 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Fair thing to want to know.

              Keep going, Bruno. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
