Willem's final semester of a pharmacy diploma in Nijmegen
Willem has worked and saved for three years to study a pharmacy diploma; a $6,150 gap now stands between him and graduation.

Willem is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a pharmacy diploma at Nijmegen University, and is two terms away from graduating. He has worked as a delivery rider to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $6,150.
The registrar has said Willem can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Willem has a 3.8 average, and an academic advisor has written in support.
Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Willem would lose his place and scholarship eligibility.
Willem isn't asking for a handout - He wants to finish what He started and 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 $6,150 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $2,800
• Final term tuition: $2,800
• Exam and lab fees: $195
• Textbooks and materials: $355

is there anything that isn't money that would help Willem?
Thank you. If you're in Nijmegen I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Let me know if you want more detail.
Take care, Koen. Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of Nijmegen.
Good luck with the exams, you've got this. I hope December is when things finally get easier.
Thanks for sharing this. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.
You're not alone, Koen. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Take care.
keep going, Koen. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Nagpur
