One semester away: help Dolores graduate from Chattanooga Polytechnic

Dolores is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a diploma in hospitality management at Chattanooga Polytechnic, and is one semester 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 $4,250. The registrar has said Dolores can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Dolores has a 3.6 average, and a professor has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Dolores would lose her place and scholarship eligibility. Dolores 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 $4,250 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $850 • Final term tuition: $3,050 • Exam and lab fees: $160 • Textbooks and materials: $190 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Carolina
