Santa Fe
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a computer science degree at Santa Fe Polytechnic, and I'm one semester away from graduating. I have worked as a tutor to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $6,450. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a distinction 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 Santa Fe Polytechnic bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $6,450 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $2,650 • Final term tuition: $3,400 • Exam and lab fees: $80 • Textbooks and materials: $320 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Sebastian

              Hope it all works out, Sebastian. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Surat.

                Your post was clear and honest. My neighbor in São Paulo donated after I showed her your page. Love from São Paulo.
