Wouter's final semester of a master's in public health in The Hague

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a master's in public health at The Hague Community College, and I'm one semester away from graduating. I have worked as a library assistant to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $4,400. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a distinction 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. The payment will go directly to the The Hague Community College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $4,400 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,600 • Final term tuition: $2,400 • Exam and lab fees: $270 • Textbooks and materials: $130 Glad we found this place.
