Thiago's final semester of a master's in public health in Brasília

Thiago is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a master's in public health at the Brasília Institute of Technology, and is two terms away from graduating. He has worked as a library assistant to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $1,250. The registrar has said Thiago can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Thiago has a first-class average, and an academic advisor has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Thiago would lose his place and scholarship eligibility. Thiago 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 $1,250 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $610 • Final term tuition: $540 • Exam and lab fees: $55 • Textbooks and materials: $45 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
