Nora is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying an accounting degree at Ottawa State College, and is one semester away from graduating. She has worked as a night-shift cleaner to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $2,150. The registrar has said Nora can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Nora has a distinction 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 Nora would lose her place and scholarship eligibility. Nora 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 $2,150 goes: • Textbooks and materials: $380 • Exam and lab fees: $180 • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,590 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
