I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a diploma in hospitality management at Eindhoven State College, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a shop assistant to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $5,050. 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 department head 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 Eindhoven State College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $5,050 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $2,750 • Final term tuition: $1,800 • Exam and lab fees: $280 • Textbooks and materials: $220 Thanks for reading all this. - Ingrid
