<p>I want to go to a summer program in business, and the thing is, most are around 4-5 thousand for a few weeks. Um, my parents make enough so that I wouldn't qualify for financial aid, but I don't want to make them spend so much money on me. </p>
<p>Do you guys know of any good fundraising ideas? Like individual ones, of course...</p>
<p>sell t-shirts with funny saying on them......</p>
<p>How about you get a job? People will not like to contribute to your "fundraiser" if they find out that it is only for you. Getting a job ensures you money and you won't feel awkward trying to sell stuff to your friends or random people. Either get the job now and work a little bit on weekends or get it in the summer and make a deal with your parents to pay them back. I don't see why you would automatically think "fundraiser" when you need to get $ for yourself...</p>
<p>You could find an internship or job that pays, and is business related, instead of getting a job to pay for this program.</p>
<p>i agree with above posters, starting a fundraiser for yourself sounds a bit self-centered....
i ould say getting a job or private tutoring other kids?</p>
<p>private tutoring pays quite a bit more than a counter worker at mcdonalds.</p>
<p>TUTOR!!!</p>
<p>i teach math& writing, and here's what i get:
one hour- $35
one hour and a half- $50</p>
<p>but then, you gotta be good...and you gotta make yourself 'unavailable'!!</p>
<p>You could apply to a summer program that offers merit scholarships...
OR
if the summer programs in business are all just too expensive ... why don't you try to find an internship over the summer? I think the princeton review and collegeboard websites have internship searches (if you'd like to work with a well known company). You could also try interning at a local business or a bank. There are PLENTY of inexpensive/free opportunities out there ... you just have to look for them!</p>
