This is how one student is hoping you will pay for her York degree

Ever been so strapped for cash you’ve thought of asking the internet to help fund your degree? No? Well one student from America has.

Anne Cormia from San Francisco in California, is so desperate to come to York that she’s started an Indiegogo campaign to help her get here.

Cormia told York Vision the money would help tide her along until she found another source of income. She said: “My campaign is mostly to raise money for living expenses and getting me on my feet.

“Tuition and rent are so much cheaper in York than in Oakland or San Francisco, but it’s safer to have some money while I figure everything out and find a job.”

At the time of writing the campaign was on $1,000 and will need another $4,000 for Cormia to be able to start her masters degree in Forensic Psychology.

She hopes to stay on and do a PhD here too.

The fundraiser closes on July 20, so there is not long left before donations close!
