Easton is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying an electrical engineering diploma at the Ottawa Institute of Technology, and is one term 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 $4,250. The registrar has said Easton can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Easton 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 Easton would lose his place and scholarship eligibility. Easton isn't asking for a handout - He wants to finish what He started and help the next student. The payment will go directly to the the Ottawa Institute of Technology bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $4,250 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $2,100 • Final term tuition: $1,550 • Exam and lab fees: $220 • Textbooks and materials: $380 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

        Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Easton.

        • Allison R. SotoOwnerAnswerID verified

          Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. outstanding tuition balance comes first ($2,100) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. I'll keep the page updated.
