Santos
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a pharmacy diploma at Santos University, 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 $1,200. 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 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 $1,200 goes: • Final term tuition: $540 • Outstanding tuition balance: $530 • Textbooks and materials: $130 Thanks for reading all this.

    Hang in there, Patrícia. Shared this with my family. After 24 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.

        rooting for you. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
