[REQ] $99 USD to cover remaining official translation fees (English) and apostilles for international scholarship applications
Hello everyone,
I am writing to this community today with a humble heart and a bit of a desperate situation. I am an educator from Colombia, and for the past few months, I have been putting 100% of my energy, time, and savings into applying for international postgraduate scholarships to continue my studies abroad.
While I am fully qualified, the bureaucracy and paperwork required have completely drained my finances. To apply, every single university is requiring me to officially authenticate, notarize, and apostille a mountain of documents: my high school diploma, my bachelor's degree, academic transcripts, GPA rankings, and even official letters of recommendation from my former professors.
On top of the apostille fees, **everything must be legally and officially translated into English by a certified translator**. This includes not only my academic achievements but also the mandatory **official medical certificates** required for the student visa and university admission, plus the translation of the apostille stamps themselves. Each document requires an individual certified translation fee.
Because of the intense time commitment, scheduling appointments at government offices, and deadlines, I had to pause my regular work to focus entirely on this process. I invested all my savings into these legalizations and translations, believing I had enough, but I am currently short by $ 100 **USD** to pay for the very last set of official translations and notary fees due this week.
I don't have family or banking options to turn to right now, and I don't want all the money and effort I’ve invested so far to go to waste just because of this final stretch.
If anyone is in a position to help me with this amount, it would literally change the course of my academic future. I can receive funds via **PayPal** (I can send my details via DM). I am also more than happy to provide proof of my scholarship applications, the document requirements, or the translation quotes to anyone who wants to verify my story (while keeping my personal identity private).
Thank you so much for reading, for your time, and for your kindness.
