Sina is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a master's in public health at Christchurch Community College, and is two terms away from graduating. She has worked as a shop assistant to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $3,800. The registrar has said Sina can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Sina has a top-ten-percent 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 Sina would lose her place and scholarship eligibility. Sina 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 Christchurch Community College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $3,800 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,650 • Final term tuition: $1,950 • Exam and lab fees: $115 • Textbooks and materials: $85 With deep gratitude, Maia

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

      • Maia N. MaugaOwnerAnswer

        Outstanding tuition balance is $1,650 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks for looking so closely.
