Eighteen-year-old Emily Stutz, a Lowell High School senior, tries to raise money for medical school in an unorthodox way – panhandling. Stutz has maintained a 4.0-4.5 GPA for the last four years and worked three part-time jobs. But she doesn’t have financial mean to attend the universities of her choice. “My parents have had immense financial struggles and simply cannot come up with $20,000-$30,000 a year, nor are they able to cosign a loan for me,” Stutz wrote on her fundraising page. “I have no other adults in my life who are able to cosign and I am at a loss. I see my dream of becoming a doctor slip further and further away as the days pass by so I’ve decided I am going to do whatever it will take to get myself to college. If people will give to the ‘homeless’ panhandlers then maybe they will consider sparing a dollar or some change to an aspiring doctor who has all the academic, but no financial means to attend college,” Stutz wrote on her fundraising page. Panhandling is her financial plan to pursue her college dream. (cbslocal.com)
