Tomás's final semester of an accounting degree in Bogotá

Tomás is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying an accounting degree at Bogotá Polytechnic, and is one term away from graduating. He has worked as a night-shift cleaner to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $1,050. The registrar has said Tomás can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Tomás has a top-ten-percent average, and a faculty supervisor has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Tomás would lose his place and scholarship eligibility. Tomás 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 $1,050 goes: • Exam and lab fees: $65 • Textbooks and materials: $85 • Outstanding tuition balance: $900 Thanks for reading all this. - Mauricio
