The Fall marks the start of a new academic year for our 11 college students. Our last update focused on introducing our students to you, our supporters, so that you can have a clear idea of who your donations support and the accomplishments our students. Please keep in mind that all Kasumisou Foundation programs are completely donor funded.
It is now time to pay the Fall 2015 tuition for our students. The annual tuition for most of our students comes to about $ 450 per year, with one current exception for a student of about $ 850 per year, plus about another $100 to $ 150 for books and supplies. All of our students are from disadvantaged families and they receive very little or in most cases, no financial support for food, lodging and clothing. To cover this gap, we provide small monthly living stipends of $ 70 to $ 100 per month per student, which function as their sole support beyond free housing which we provide to 8 of our students.
In order for our students to continue on in their studies we must now pay Fall semester tuition bills :
Fall Tuition fees $2675 ( covers 11 unitersity students )
Books etc $ $375
Student food allowance ( FALL) $3080 ( covers 4 months x 11 students )
Total Funding for Fall 2015 $ 6,130
Your support has made it possile for these students to start their studies. Your continued support will make it possible for them to continue.
Won't you join us in helping to fulfill the dreams of these 11 students to complete a college education?
We are deeply grateful to you for your continued support.
Thank you,
Barbara & Mark Rosasco
