Brampton
Vivian is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a master's in public health at Brampton Community College, and is two terms away from graduating. She has worked as a barista to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $1,750. The registrar has said Vivian can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Vivian has a first-class 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 Vivian would lose her place and scholarship eligibility. Vivian 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 $1,750 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,400 • Exam and lab fees: $270 • Textbooks and materials: $80 Thank you for reading my story.
