Dayton
Peyton is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a degree in social work at Dayton University, and is two terms away from graduating. She has worked as a delivery rider to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $4,350. The registrar has said Peyton can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Peyton 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 Peyton would lose her place and scholarship eligibility. Peyton isn't asking for a handout - She wants to finish what She started and help the next student. The payment will go directly to the Dayton University bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $4,350 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $2,750 • Exam and lab fees: $130 • Final term tuition: $1,470 I hope life is good to you.
