Tuition fund for Fabiana: an agriculture degree at Rio de Janeiro Polytechnic
A first-generation student, Fabiana needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of an agriculture degree.
🇧🇷 Rio de Janeiro, Brazil826 views
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying an agriculture degree at Rio de Janeiro Polytechnic, and I'm one semester away from graduating. I have worked as a shop assistant to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $1,000.
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 professor 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 $1,000 goes:
• Final term tuition: $770
• Exam and lab fees: $100
• Textbooks and materials: $130
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Keep going. Shared it with a few friends. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Thinking of you and your family, Fabiana. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.
thinking of you. Looking forward to the next update. I went through something like this 11 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless
Thinking of you and your family. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Rio de Janeiro.
good luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you!
Hope things get better soon. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Melbourne
Praying for you, Fabiana. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 25 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

stay strong, Fabiana. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. We're a small family in Barcelona but we're thinking of you.
