Help me finish an accounting degree at Dayton Polytechnic - $4,500 to go
A first-generation student, Fernando needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of an accounting degree.
Anywhere in the world3,485 views
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying an accounting degree at Dayton Polytechnic, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a night-shift cleaner to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $4,500.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a first-class average, and my professor has written in support of my application for a payment plan.
Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support my younger siblings. Without enrolling this term I'd lose my place and my scholarship eligibility.
I'm not asking for a handout - I want to finish what I started and then help the next student.
The payment will go directly to the Dayton Polytechnic bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $4,500 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $2,150
• Final term tuition: $1,950
• Exam and lab fees: $240
• Textbooks and materials: $160
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Thank you. If you're in Dayton I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks, that means a lot.
Wishing you the best. Study hard! I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
