One semester away: help Arturo graduate from Dayton State College
A first-generation student, Arturo needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a diploma in hospitality management.
🇺🇸 Dayton, Ohio, United States2,070 views
Arturo is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a diploma in hospitality management at Dayton State College, and is one semester away from graduating. He has worked as a library assistant to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $4,950.
The registrar has said Arturo can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Arturo has a 3.9 average, and a department head has written in support.
Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Arturo would lose his place and scholarship eligibility.
Arturo isn't asking for a handout - He wants to finish what He started and help the next student.
Everything raised goes to the university's accounts office toward the outstanding balance and the final term's fees.
Where the $4,950 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $2,550
• Final term tuition: $1,900
• Exam and lab fees: $130
• Textbooks and materials: $370
Thanks for being kind about this.

Your post was clear and honest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Dayton
Keep going, Víctor. Hope you get there. Love from Thane
Praying for you, Víctor. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
Sending love. Study hard! We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Stay strong, Víctor. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors.
