I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a master's in public health at the Wiesbaden Institute of Technology, and I'm one term 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 $4,200.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.8 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 $4,200 goes:
• Final term tuition: $2,050
• Outstanding tuition balance: $1,950
• Exam and lab fees: $200
I hope life is good to you.

Updates from Birgit
Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,419 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
62% there. I made the first payment toward exam and lab fees. Thank you.

is there anything that isn't money that would help Birgit?
Thank you. If you're in Wiesbaden I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Good question.
