Tuition fund for Inés: an electrical engineering diploma at the Barranquilla Institute of Technology
A first-generation student, Inés needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of an electrical engineering diploma.
🇨🇴 Colombia887 views
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying an electrical engineering diploma at the Barranquilla 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 $700.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.6 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 $700 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $380
• Final term tuition: $280
• Exam and lab fees: $30
• Textbooks and materials: $10
Thank you for reading my story.

Hope things get better soon. I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Jakarta Selatan but we're thinking of you. God bless.
Sending strength, Inés. I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless.
