Recently, I was accepted into a summer school program at Georgetown University. It's held by the Junior Statesmen of America. This program gives me the opportunity to attend AP US Government and Politics classes at Georgetown University for three weeks in June. I?ll have the opportunity to attend congressional hearings, visit the Whitehouse, and question a variety of Washington politicians about current world issues. Now, yeah, that's pretty amazing and I want to do it. But, the bad news is that it costs an extreme amount- $4,450, to be exact. The good news- I?ve paid a $50 application fee, been awarded a $700 scholarship by the program, and have received another discount in the amount of $225. So, I'm now left, on my own, surrounded by fiscally-tight families, and have $3,475 left to raise. All this money is due by May 31 and I?m really, really hoping that you?ll find the desire to help me out in some way.
