Chattanooga law firm Summers, Rufolo and Rodgers has announced it will give $1.2 million to a scholarship program at the University of Tennessee, WBIR reports. The gift will go to UT Promise – a last-dollar scholarship program that guarantees free tuition and mandatory fees for qualifying Tennessee undergraduate students with a family income of under $60,000 after other financial aid is received. The gift will help graduates from 12 Chattanooga-area high schools. “Working families have relied on our firm to protect their interests and their lives since 1969, and we hope that this gift continues that work by creating pathways for students to find their future through UT,” firm member Jimmy Rodgers said. “This is our way of giving back to the community.”
