Doris is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying an electrical engineering diploma at Ann Arbor State College, and is one term away from graduating. She has worked as a night-shift cleaner to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $5,050. The registrar has said Doris can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Doris has a first-class 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 Doris would lose her place and scholarship eligibility. Doris isn't asking for a handout - She wants to finish what She 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 $5,050 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,950 • Final term tuition: $2,800 • Exam and lab fees: $130 • Textbooks and materials: $170 Every share and every dollar helps. - Hailey

  1. Quick update: $865 raised so far (17%). I made the first payment toward final term tuition. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 4% now ($205). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the university and confirmed the amounts.
