Aurora
Sophia is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a teaching qualification at Aurora Community College, and is one term away from graduating. She has worked as a delivery rider to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $2,650. The registrar has said Sophia can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Sophia has a 3.6 average, and an academic advisor has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Sophia would lose her place and scholarship eligibility. Sophia isn't asking for a handout - She wants to finish what She started and help the next student. Everything raised goes to the university's accounts office toward the outstanding balance and the final term's fees. Where the $2,650 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,050 • Final term tuition: $1,300 • Exam and lab fees: $300 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

      Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Sophia!

      • Harold E. LambertOwnerAnswer

        Sure. The biggest one is outstanding tuition balance, $1,050. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Good question.
