Many Trini students see US and Canada and their eyes open wider than the breadth of their imagination. They're not known for thinking outside of the box at all. Germany for instance has nearly free excellent University education that is recognized worldwide, and the instruction is in English. It's utterly strange to me that no one really considers it an option at all, especially with KLM flying here now, and the reintroduction of Condor from Frankfurt.

Public universities are free (nearly) for anyone who legally resides in Germany. Private is not free. Competition to enter a German public university program can be described as fierce.

Considerably less fierce than the admissions process to many top US and Canadian universities. Most of these Trini students aren't gonna be applying to places like New Mexico Tech or Ohio State.

https://www.gofundme.com/f/x259d-help-christin-become-a-doctorHere's her story:
"My name is Christin-Lee Maharaj. I am 19 years old and a graduate of St Joseph Convent Port-of-Spain, Trinidad and Tobago. I am a dedicated, well-rounded student who has been committed to voluntary community service while constantly pursuing academic excellence, and I have many wonderful people in my life who would attest to this on my behalf.
For most of my childhood, I have been a medical patient due to my asthma and endometriosis, and it is my sincere hope I will have the privilege of becoming Dr. Christin-Lee Maharaj. I hope to care for others as I was cared for, and to serve my patients in the way that dedicated frontline health workers have been doing throughout this pandemic.
Last year, I was accepted by Leicester Medical School in the UK, securing 1 of under 20 places offered to international students by this competitive and prestigious institution...
...Then COVID-19 hit. Due to the economic fallout of the pandemic, the Government of Trinidad and Tobago reduced the number of National Scholarships from 180 to 50, only 5 of which were available for students in my course of study. Every one of my fellow students who had been working hard toward earning a 2020 scholarship was caught off guard.
Thankfully, I had been preparing for years. I had dreamt of studying medicine for as long as I could remember, and with the help of my family, had made some outstanding academic achievements (see below) which ensured I was in the running. Earning a place in the top 5 in the Caribbean region for three consecutive years would surely have meant I would be awarded the full scholarship I desperately needed.
Despite my persistence and hard work, and against my family’s reasonable expectations, I was disappointed to learn I had not been awarded the scholarship that would have covered the cost of my studies, as were dozens of other deserving students who had consistently performed at the top in other fields. However, the Government of Trinidad and Tobago awarded me a partial Scholarship, despite the economic challenges Covid-19 brought, and for that, I am so very thankful.
But the dream of pursuing my calling, and of helping the people of my country through advanced medicine, is now in jeopardy. Without the scholarship I had been working towards since I was 13 years old, financing my medical education has become very tenuous. The partial scholarship can only cover 16% of my medical school expenses, and I have searched for and applied to every other grant for which I am eligible.
My amazing parents, who have supported me in all my academic efforts while diligently serving Trinidad’s youth as teachers for over 23 years, are simply unable to undertake this cost alone.
It is for this reason I am humbly asking for your generous assistance in funding my 5-year medical degree, which amounts to approximately 354,000 USD, with a starting goal of 60,000 USD. I ask for your assistance in any way possible, by sharing my story and/or making a donation.
Anything helps. Everything counts. I am truly grateful for your kindness and humanity.
Yours sincerely,
Christin-Lee Maharaj

Just an update to this original story, Christin-Lee Maharaj successfully raised enough funds to attend the Leicester Medical School in the UK. She just completed her first year with distinction and has moved on to her second year.
Her dreams became reality despite the criticism... well done.

Seems as though Christin didnt get the memo...
Those funds could have retired her immediately from working in this life...
So whats her plan?
Finish med school and then fly back to Trinidad to slave out in the public hospital?

Haterade is a sour and salty and bitter beverage. Don't drink too much of it
But srsly
Most of the doctors that made such wealth made it in the private sector. Think about this.
The average person needing specialized medical care goes to the public hospital first, for the reason that the majority can't afford to go private. The majority of patients in public hospitals are middle-lower income persons without health insurance coverage. So, if the doctor in the public hospital tells the patient there to see them in their private practice for surgical treatment, who paying the doctor? remember, they have little to no money, and no insurance. Many don't even own their home, so they don't have an asset they can leverage to pay for private care.
They make some good coin in private sector hospitals, because they have skills and capabilities that you either won't find similar in public hospitals, or if you do find them, is how long you willing to wait until they get to your case.
