Help to fulfill the dream of studying a master's degree abroad

Hello,

My name is Karolyne Filadelfo, I'm 26 years old, Brazilian, living in the city of Toledo – Paraná. Graduated in Fisheries Engineering from the State University of West Paraná (UNIOESTE).

Recently I was approved in the Masters in Biology and Water Quality Management at the University of Sciences of Porto (FCUP) in the city of Porto, Portugal. It has always been my dream, since I started my graduation, I already dreamed of a master's degree abroad, so I started researching and found the one that was exactly what I was looking for, it is within the area that I work and in which I want to specialize, in order to be able to design a sustainability-related project. Within all my attempts I was approved in this master's degree in September 2021, where everything happened very quickly and without being able to prepare myself financially, classes have already started in October, but due to the pandemic and the visa release, it is taking place online . As soon as the visa is approved, I will quickly go to Portugal.

I have attached my proof certificate saying that I am already enrolled in the master's program.

I will urgently need help to be part of this Masters

The costs for applying for documentation, passport, airfare, tuition, master's fees, subsistence expenses, visa, and others are very high, and my family cannot afford to help me with all these expenses (especially now in the time of a pandemic).

The average expenses are:

Visa fees: +- BRL 900.00

Area ticket: +- R$ 2500.00

Cost of living in Portugal for 3 months: € 2100.00 (R$ 13587.00)

Master's installment (10 installments): € 225.00 each installment (R$ 1455.75)

ESTIMATED TOTAL: BRL 18442.00 (€ 2850.38)

The costs are extremely high, so I got to know the crowdfunding project, to be able to help me with the costs, I hope I can reach at least half that amount, because the most important thing would be the value for me to stay in Portugal at the beginning.

My family and I are trying to pay for the things we can afford, but I will urgently need help to make this dream come true. Therefore, I humbly request your understanding and help. This funding will be open until December 2021, because as soon as my visa is released, I need to go to Portugal, classes have already started and I'm missing practical classes.

I will be eternally grateful to everyone who can help me, because I really want to be part of this master's degree.

I would be happy if you could use the [Help by sharing] button to share about my project!
