So there is outside the box thinking and then there is OUTSIDE the box thinking. You want money for school, ask for it.
You’re never too young to enter the world of guerrilla style tactics to get what you want. In fact, the younger you start the better. People are more likely to help you when you’re younger. At least that’s what I’ve found.
Sites like collegedegreefund.com and smartypig.com allow students to basically beg for cash. You set up a profile with your target goal and what it’s for. For our example it would be for College Tuition, say $20,000. Then you can send out your link to family, friends, companies, or whomever. Let the world know what your goal is. You can even get an icon for your myspace or facebook page. Additionally, you will accrue interest on your savings.
People love to help kids that are helping themselves. But you may want to leverage your efforts by applying for scholarships as well. At scholarshippoints.com you can enter to win for FREE. The only requirement we have, in order to be eligible, is you must be enrolled in a Title IV eligible school in the U.S., which most are.
We give away thousands of dollars each month ranging from $1,000 all the way up to 10K! You can accrue points too to increase your odds of winning one of the monthly scholarships.
