<p>Hi guys. This summer I plan on doing a volunteering abroad trip in Ghana. Yes, it's one of those programs that takes you as long as you can pay. It's $4,499 for three weeks, not including the flight cost. The program, however, provides decent financial aid and whatever they don't pay for I can probably cover with fundraising and some savings I have from a job last summer. </p>
<p>When applying to college, I don't want it to seem like my parents paid for me to go to Ghana, which they didn't. How can I convey to college admission officers that I raised money for the trip on my own?? Should I indicate it on the "additional info" section on the common app when I apply?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
