Claire is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying an electrical engineering diploma at Toronto Polytechnic, and is one term away from graduating. She has worked as a tutor to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $4,300. The registrar has said Claire can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Claire has a 3.9 average, and a faculty supervisor has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Claire would lose her place and scholarship eligibility. Claire isn't asking for a handout - She wants to finish what She started and help the next student. The payment will go directly to the Toronto Polytechnic bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $4,300 goes: • Final term tuition: $2,600 • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,350 • Exam and lab fees: $350 Thanks for being kind about this.

            is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Claire.

            • Rebecca GomezOwnerAnswer

              Sure. The biggest one is final term tuition, $2,600. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one.

          • Stay strong, Rebecca. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
