When Chris Salley earns his business degree from Wright State University next year debt free he’ll be in increasingly limited company.
Salley is on track to finish a double major in management information systems and supply chain management paying for school on his own with no loan debt in an age when the average student borrows $24,000 to earn a bachelor’s degree.
The Beavercreek resident admits he wouldn’t be able to do it without hard work, sacrifice and some luck. He’s lived at home, went to work instead of parties and kept his grades up to earn scholarships.
