A first-generation student, Colton needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a teaching qualification.
🇺🇸 San Francisco, California, United States1,249 views
Colton is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a teaching qualification at San Francisco Polytechnic, and is one semester away from graduating. He has worked as a delivery rider to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $2,150.
The registrar has said Colton can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Colton has a first-class average, and an academic advisor has written in support.
Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Colton would lose his place and scholarship eligibility.
Colton isn't asking for a handout - He wants to finish what He started and help the next student.
The payment will go directly to the San Francisco Polytechnic bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $2,150 goes:
• Final term tuition: $1,850
• Exam and lab fees: $130
• Textbooks and materials: $170
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

It's all in the list in the story. final term tuition is the big one at $1,850, I'll post a receipt when it's paid.
Hope things get better soon, Peyton. Looking forward to the next update. Love from Pasig.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Colton?
Hang in there, Peyton. Hope this works out for you. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
best of luck, Peyton. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
Praying for you, Peyton. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Rome.
Take care, Peyton. This could happen to any of us. Don't give up
As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. All the best.
Good luck with the exams, you've got this. Greetings from Swansea
Thanks for sharing this. Looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
