Help me finish a degree in social work at Amsterdam University - $4,750 to go
A first-generation student, Jolanda needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a degree in social work.
🇳🇱 Netherlands1,709 views
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in social work at Amsterdam University, 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 $4,750.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a top-ten-percent 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.
The payment will go directly to the Amsterdam University bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $4,750 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $1,700
• Final term tuition: $2,600
• Exam and lab fees: $185
• Textbooks and materials: $265
Thanks for reading all this.

Study hard! My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Palmira
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Jolanda?
