Tuition fund for Carlos: an agriculture degree at the São Paulo Institute of Technology
A first-generation student, Carlos needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of an agriculture degree.
Anywhere in the world1,315 views
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying an agriculture degree at the São Paulo Institute of Technology, and I'm one semester away from graduating. I have worked as a night-shift cleaner to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $1,650.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.9 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.
Everything raised goes to the university's accounts office toward the outstanding balance and the final term's fees.
Where the $1,650 goes:
• Final term tuition: $890
• Exam and lab fees: $85
• Outstanding tuition balance: $675
Every share and every dollar helps.

Thanks for sharing this, Carlos. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
sending love, Carlos. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Kinondoni
Rooting for you. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Columbia.
this could happen to any of us. I'll check back for the next update
Wishing you the best. Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of São Paulo.
