Help Send Me to College

Hello!
My name is Marlon Portillo and I am the Valedictorian for the Carver Health Sciences and Research Class of 2015. I have worked hard the last four years to make it to this point. I have been dually enrolled in my high school and Atlanta Metropolitan College since my junior year. I was initially accepted to several schools including The University of North Georgia, Tuskegee University, South Carolina State University, Fort Valley State University, Kennesaw State University, and Georgia State University. I was also accepted to The University of Georgia and Georgia Tech. I even qualify for full tuition scholarships for both schools because I am the valedictorian but because of my immigration status (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, DACA) I am unable to attend these schools or receive scholarships and federal funding. Fisk University in Nashville Tennessee did offer me a scholarship despite my status, but I must come up with the rest of the money over the next four years. I am asking that you all please donate to my campaign so that my dream of a college education can become a reality.
Thank you!
