Toulon
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a master's in public health at Toulon State College, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a delivery rider to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $2,400. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.6 average, and my faculty supervisor 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 Toulon State College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $2,400 goes: • Textbooks and materials: $270 • Outstanding tuition balance: $2,000 • Exam and lab fees: $130 Thank you so much. - Paul

    can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Toulon

    • Sawsan Ines Zerrouki

      good luck with the exams, you've got this. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.

      • Brandon Mosley

        I hope things turn around soon. Put this on a community board in Sherbrooke this morning. God bless.

          Rooting for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Toulon.

            I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. All the best!
