Winnipeg family faces $200K bill to send deaf son to U.S. university – Manitoba – CBC News
A Manitoba family is calling on the provincial government to better fund schooling for deaf students after they incurred thousands of dollars of debt for just one year of university for their son.
Last year, 18-year-old Cody Zimmer left his home in Winnipeg to attend Gallaudet University in Washington D.C., the world’s only university exclusively for deaf students.
“My vision of what it might be like was completely obliterated — it was so much more than what I expected,” said Cody. “I made so many friends so quickly. I was involved in sports and soccer. It was just such a quick year because it was so exciting. It felt like a blink and it was done.”
