my family doesnt have enough money to pay for things like this,

any ideas on ways i could get there?

Answer 1

Set up your own sponsership programme, ask family, friends, teachers, relatives to sponser you to go, also you may want to  set yourself tasks and get a wider range of sponsorship by running a certain distance.

In the meantime get yourself an after school job and make up the other amount.

I am pretty sure you could get sponsorship from companies also.

There are lots of options for you good luck with your Quest

Answer 2

Where are you from?  I have worked with exchange programs for teens coming to the USA.  Some are much cheaper than that.  IM or email me for more information.

Answer 3

there are probably less expensive options - check with your school.. also where are you traveling from?

Answer 4

try to get a scholarship.. get good grades, and it might happen for you

Answer 5

Many universities in the United States offer partial and even full scholarships for study there. Yes, this wouldn't be until a few years hence, but, if you hope to receive a scholarship at a top American university - those are the ones that offer the most generous scholarships - study hard and get good grades during the next few years. U.S. universities also tend to look more favorably on candidates who have a strong outside interest, for example, playing a classical instrument (playing it well), rowing crew or some other sport. So, if you have such a non-scholastic interest, keep pursuing it.

Good luck.

Answer 6

wait till your 18 and get a free ride scholarship

Or if all else fail come on a visit visa and marry an American..

Good Luck
