Dayton
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. - Fernando
