Where can I find money to pay for study abroad?

Question

I have to go Study Abroad for my Global Studies major and I've already chosen a country, Brazil. I hear people go there with everything paid, but no one wants to share with me how they do it. I feel detouched and frustrated on this issue. Can someone please help? I need 4000 dollars, I simply cannot afford that...

Answer 1

What university are you attending and how are you paying for that? What does your department advisor say? The financial aid office? What are your parents doing to help you get your education?  You are, after all, their responsibility.

You neglect to mention your citizenship and where you attending college. But assuming you are a US citizen attending a US university, you ought to be able to earn $4000 over the summer vacation with your summer job.  That's only $400 a week for 10 weeks. And you can apply for a student loan through your financial aid office.
