- 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
- try to get a scholarship.. get good grades, and it might happen for you
- there are probably less expensive options - check with your school.. also where are you traveling from?
- 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
- 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.
- 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.
