During the hurricane, he was forced to flee the home through a window and spent two days clinging to a mango tree.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">27-year-old North Campus student studying dental hygiene depended on her father to pay for her education and living expenses. Now, she has to find an on-campus job to pay her bills.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThat\u2019s what had me so terrified. He\u2019s without a job. We\u2019re without a home. We\u2019re without anything at this point,\u201d Baillou said. \u201cWho do I turn to? How can I say \u2018Hey, I need this\u2019? I don\u2019t even want to think about it.

Individuals seeking financial assistance must present a government-issued Bahamian identification.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe will accept all students who are interested in enrolling at MDC,\u201d said Kathy Maalouf, vice-provost of student affairs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Students can register for the fall semester mini term sessions and upcoming spring term. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The College contacted nearly 72 current students from The Bahamas to offer financial and academic assistance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Baillou was contacted on Sept. 4 by MDC. She was given a book stipend for the fall semester, but still pays out-of-state tuition.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhen I went [to the Dean of Students office], I broke down in the office. I know [MDC] is there to support me, but they\u2019re actually concerned about individual students,\u201d Baillou said. \u201cIt\u2019s a huge burden off my shoulders.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">MDC\u2019s Foundation allocated $50,000 and raised $7,500 during I AM MDC Day on Sept. 6 to aid the displacement efforts and provide student scholarships.
