I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a diploma in hospitality management at Amsterdam University, and I'm one semester away from graduating. I have worked as a warehouse packer to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $3,900. 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 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 $3,900 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $2,050 • Final term tuition: $1,400 • Exam and lab fees: $240 • Textbooks and materials: $210 Every share and every dollar helps.

  • As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. Don't give up. Love from Giza

    • thanks for sharing this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.

      • Best of luck. Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of Amsterdam.

        • Shared this with my family. Don't give up. Thinking of Amsterdam.

          • Rooting for you, Jan. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.

            • So sorry you're going through this, Jan. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Mansoura.
