The aim of this campaign is to help me pay off my outstanding university tuition fees at the Polytechnic Institute of Bragança (IPB), in Portugal, so that I can finally complete my Master's in Social Education.
Hello, I'm Nainicele Ramos , an international student from Cape Verde, and I'm finishing my Master's in Social Education at the Polytechnic Institute of Bragança, in Portugal.
I came here full of dreams, determined to invest in my education, even knowing the difficulties I would face away from my family and with very limited resources.
Over the past two years, I have managed to complete all the course units with a lot of effort and dedication. I am now in the final phase, just finishing the dissertation , the last step towards obtaining the diploma.
Unfortunately, as I do not have a financial support network and I only work part-time (to cover basic expenses such as food and accommodation), I was unable to pay my university fees throughout my studies. The accumulated debt is around €3,000 , and without payment, I will not be able to defend my dissertation or obtain my certificate.
This request is about much more than money, it is a call for solidarity, empathy and support among those who believe in education and the efforts of foreign students who struggle far from home.
If you can contribute any amount, you will be helping me complete a journey that has been long, lonely and full of achievements.
🙏 Any help counts.
📢 If you can't donate, please share this campaign with someone who can.
Thank you so much for reading this far. Thank you for believing. 💛
With love,
Nainicele Ramos
About the author
My name is Nainicele Ramos , I am from Cape Verde and I came to Portugal with the dream of qualifying myself academically and being able to contribute to social transformation, especially in the most vulnerable communities.
I am a student of the Master's Degree in Social Education at the Polytechnic Institute of Bragança (IPB), a course I chose because I believe in the importance of education as a tool for change, inclusion and human development.
I have been living in Bragança for almost two years, far from my family, and during this time I have worked part-time to support myself with dignity. Despite the difficulties, I never gave up on my studies. I have already completed all the subjects of the course and I am in the final phase of my dissertation .
With this campaign, I am asking for support to overcome one last obstacle: the debt from tuition fees that prevents me from formally completing my master's degree. Each contribution is a gesture of trust and solidarity that I carry with gratitude in my heart.
Budget and due dates
The total amount of the campaign is € 3,000, corresponding to the tuition debt accumulated over two years on the Master's Degree in Social Education at the Polytechnic Institute of Bragança (IPB). The debt was the result of the impossibility of regular payments, due to the condition of an international student with very limited income.
-
Once the amount is reached, I intend to make the full payment directly to IPB within 5 working days , with proof delivered to the institution.
-
With the tuition fees paid, I will be able to immediately obtain my certificate after the defense.
-
My goal is to complete my master's degree and receive my diploma this academic year , with great responsibility and gratitude.
