A first-generation student, Hendra needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a master's in public health.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a master's in public health at Bekasi Polytechnic, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a night-shift cleaner to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $650.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.9 average, and my academic advisor 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 $650 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $400
• Final term tuition: $190
• Exam and lab fees: $20
• Textbooks and materials: $40
Glad we found this place.

Thanks for sharing this, Hendra. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from 6th of October City.
Best of luck, Hendra. Hope you get there. After 25 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Sending love, Hendra. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. Blessings
wishing you the best, Hendra. Study hard! My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
