Petrópolis
Paulo is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a computer science degree at Petrópolis University, and is one term away from graduating. He has worked as a barista to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $1,600. The registrar has said Paulo can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Paulo has a 3.8 average, and a professor has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Paulo would lose his place and scholarship eligibility. Paulo 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 $1,600 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $970 • Final term tuition: $520 • Exam and lab fees: $70 • Textbooks and materials: $40 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Cláudio
