I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in civil engineering at Amsterdam Polytechnic, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a tutor to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $4,250. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a distinction average, and my professor 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 $4,250 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $970 • Final term tuition: $2,900 • Exam and lab fees: $145 • Textbooks and materials: $235 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Finn

    Thinking of you and your family, Finn. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Please keep us posted. God bless!
