Morgan's UTK education

Hey! My name is Morgan Mosher, and I'm trying to raise money to fund my Theater degree at UTK! The times are tough and no one seems to want to give money to a degree they think is useless. My goal is to prove them wrong and make use of a theater degree in costume making, prop designing and hopefully acting. But I can not do it without help! I'm transferring to UTK and the out of pocket expenses have unfortunately been more than we foresaw. All my hopes and dreams are riding on getting in and raising my grades back up enough to qualify for scholarships again. I've made a few academic mistakes in the past, the biggest one was not asking or accepting any kind of help with things i could not do on my own. i have since learned my lesson and now i am humbly asking for any help given. Even if it's a dollar, please help me prove that we can do this and theater is something that should be worth while! its been my life long dream to bring smiles to faces and i hope to achieve my dream through the arts of theater.
For those who wish to see a break down of costs of a student who lives on campus, here is a pretty comprehensive link for the full school year (http://onestop.utk.edu/your-money/cost-estimators/estimating-costs-undergraduates/) My estimated cost is a bit smaller, around 21k plus books, but the amount of aid received was substantially less than was thought. we have taken out the maximum amount of student loans and still require around 15k for the full school year which includes the estimated cost of books. It is a lot to ask of two parents who are already shouldering the cost of education for three other family members past and current. Any donations given will be a blessing to me and my family.
if you have any further questions please be open and friendly about them, as i do not mind answering any inquiries.
