Juiz de Fora
Vanessa is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a degree in social work at the Juiz de Fora Institute of Technology, and is two terms away from graduating. She has worked as a warehouse packer to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $1,000. The registrar has said Vanessa can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Vanessa has a 3.8 average, and an academic advisor has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Vanessa would lose her place and scholarship eligibility. Vanessa isn't asking for a handout - She wants to finish what She started and help the next student. The payment will go directly to the the Juiz de Fora Institute of Technology bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $1,000 goes: • Exam and lab fees: $50 • Textbooks and materials: $70 • Final term tuition: $880 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Updates from Anderson

  1. Thank you all. We're at 41% now ($408). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward final term tuition.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($78 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

              is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Vanessa

              • Anderson Carlos AlvesOwnerAnswerID verified

                Exam and lab fees is $50 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Fair thing to want to know.
