Buenos Aires
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a law degree at Buenos Aires Polytechnic, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a barista to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $1,050. 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 faculty supervisor 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. Everything raised goes to the university's accounts office toward the outstanding balance and the final term's fees. Where the $1,050 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $350 • Final term tuition: $580 • Exam and lab fees: $75 • Textbooks and materials: $45 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

    Thanks for sharing this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 22 years in customer support I know how hard it is to ask for anything. God bless.
