Tuition fund for Corinne: a diploma in hospitality management at Toronto Community College
A first-generation student, Corinne needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a diploma in hospitality management.
🇨🇦 Toronto, Ontario, Canada4,920 views
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a diploma in hospitality management at Toronto Community College, and I'm one semester away from graduating. I have worked as a shop assistant to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $3,550.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.9 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.
Everything raised goes to the university's accounts office toward the outstanding balance and the final term's fees.
Where the $3,550 goes:
• Final term tuition: $1,000
• Textbooks and materials: $250
• Outstanding tuition balance: $2,300
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

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 Toronto.
Hang in there, Corinne. Looking forward to the next update. All the best.
Thinking of you, Corinne. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. Blessings
