“Hey MaryAnn! This is JaQuari and I just wanted to thank you again for providing me with the last amount of funds for the spring semester! I was able to get honor roll after having a shaky first semester!” Summer 2023, a DC International Charter School (DCI) grad attending George Mason University. The “thank you” I received and honor roll were made possible by JaQuari's neighbor, DCI, and a donation to AOFC. Had All Out for Change® not provided the “last amount of funds” that outcome, honor roll, would have been impossible; he couldn’t have registered and enrolled in spring semester classes. We handed him an opportunity, and he ran with it! When I called to congratulate JaQuari, he expressed how “blessed" and grateful he felt. You & Your Donations Make A Difference In Our Student Scholars' Lives Tuition gap conundrums for financial aid recipients have a potentially tragic outcome, closing doors on achieving their degrees and professional goals. An AOFC award recipient responds to our survey: Has there been a time when a tuition gap could have prevented your continued enrollment in your college and university? If so, please explain. “One time my mom and I were late for my course fees and they threatened to drop my classes… they placed my account on hold again. Once I paid the tuition they asked for and they took me off of hold, the classes I needed to take for my major (Marine Biology) requirement were already taken and they are not offered every quarter, meaning I have to wait for my sophomore year to take them. It was a very humiliating time, because the reason I could not keep up with my classmates, was not because of my academics however because of money...Funds going towards my tuition would be extremely helpful...I am so grateful to have heard of this wonderful organization and want to thank you guys so much for the help and support.” Thank You To Those Who Pitch In… Next Week Students Receive Laptops & Supplemental Scholarship Funds For Books, Meals, Travel & More
