Hi I'm Kyla Henderson and have been remotely attending Quest University, Squamish, British Columbia, CANADA since August 2020…thanks to the pandemic. I am majoring in Microbiology to continue my career path as a research scientist.
Recently (8/4/2021), I was advised that online classes will no longer be offered since Quest University is now opening for in-person classes effective 8/30/2021. This is exciting news that I have the opportunity to study abroad. However, this news also brings a significant financial challenge.
My annual tuition is $35,000.00. Last year my mother and I managed to pay my tuition expenses in concert with the financial aid provided through Quest University’s scholarships and US federal loans. Our shared out-of-pocket cost has been $1200.00/month. Going to classes on campus increases my monthly expenses to $3500.00/month (10 months).
To achieve this goal will take a village! I am asking you, as part of my village, to help sponsor me at $100.00, $50.00 or $25.00 or whatever you can afford. Your response to this call will help me meet the goal of $17,500.00 by November 1, 2021. Here are the expenses that I need help funding:
- Housing $ 8000.00
- Quest Meal Plan $ 6000.00
- International Student Health $ 1300.00
- Books $ 350.00
- Student Association Fee $ 220.00
- Personal Living Expense $ 2000.00
Subtotal: $17,870.50
Tuition per year: $35,000.00
Subtotal: $52,870.50
Less financial aid: <$17,500.00>
Grand total to fund: $35,370.00 (asking help for $17,500)
In addition to your financial gift, I will be working while attending school, and continuing to search for other scholarships and financial resources, too.
Again, thank you for whatever you can give.
Sincerely,
Kyla
