Studying Abroad: Ways to Raise the Money?

Question

I just turned in my application to go abroad to Sweden this summer. I'm very excited, and the last thing I'm going to let stand in my way is money...but I am broke, so I was wondering if anyone knew some ways of raising cash and FAST. This trip will cost at least $5000, I don't know how much I will get from financial aid, and I haven't been able to rely on Daddy my whole life. I'm 18, planning on getting a job, and what I need are creative ideas to raise extra cash while still going to school. Any ideas would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!

Answer 1

My only suggestion is to see if you can find out how much financial aid you are getting, get a job, and apply for any and every scholarship you are eligable for.  scholarships wil help look them up on the internet, ask your guidance department at your school, whatever it takes but thats really a good way to get some money.  good luck.

Answer 2

Planning on getting a job doesn't cut it. You need to actually go out and do it!
