Niels's final semester of a degree in civil engineering in Utrecht

A first-generation student, Niels needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a degree in civil engineering.

Niels is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a degree in civil engineering at Utrecht Community College, and is one term away from graduating. He has worked as a warehouse packer to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $3,950. The registrar has said Niels can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Niels has a distinction average, and a professor has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Niels would lose his place and scholarship eligibility. Niels isn't asking for a handout - He wants to finish what He started and help the next student. The payment will go directly to the Utrecht Community College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $3,950 goes: • Exam and lab fees: $135 • Final term tuition: $1,950 • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,865 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Iris

            rooting for you. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out.
