How?? Study Abroad Aid for High School Students?

Hello all,





I am a high school student who is eagerly trying to go for study abroad this summer or the next. Last year I was invited to go on one of my chuirches missions to Russia but I could not afford it becuase of the cost. One of my goals in life is to work the orpahnages and hospitals after collge. As of now I am fluent enough in Russia to read newspapers and to able to understand Russian Radio. I hope that my early experience in Russia will help support my goal.





Does anyone know where to find financial aid for a high school study abroad? Please help me with any advice,





Thanks a lot!

try to aim for grants/scholarships more... they are not to be paid back. its confusing sometimes, but just keep applying. Scholarships usually have a 1 or 2 page application, and require an essay. Take your time with the essay, so yours stands out.





every big (and small) company you see (manufacturer, orgs, corps and groups also) all have grants and scholarships they hand out like candy. Walmart, Kmart, Target, Coke, computer companies etc etc etc





heres a link with a HUGE amount of some available. some you will need to copy and paste into a new window. also, fastweb (take the time to fill it in) will search databases and get back to you with a list of scholarships you qualify for.





Also contact all mens, womens associations in your state, they almost always have grants %26amp; scholarships. What ever field you are going into, contact the orgs, associations etc for them; Also check with professional organizations related to your career interests, such as the American Bar Association or the American Medical Association. they also always have scholarships. Research and dig, call then write. Its all worth it.





OVER apply; it doesnt hurt to have too many, and the extra funds can help with housing.
