Hi,

I've just been accepted into a study abroad program here at Texas A&M to go to New Zealand this summer (leaving 5/16). I'm extremely pumped about it, not just because it's New Zealand, because of the things we are going to experience and be taught.

The purpose of the course is to develop a better understanding of what impact human society has on its surrounding environments, and how to make better decisions so that we can maintain the places we have (wildlife parks, natural fields, etc...). New Zealand is a great example of this because of it's limited impact of human life and because within 100 mile radius there are beaches, rainforests, glaciers, mountains, etc... This is all being taught to people of different majors (I'm pre-med). Specifically for me this would help me better understand how we effect the environment and how it reacts which can cause significant detriments to health. I'm excited.

Here is where the favor comes in.

The program costs $8000. I'm doing my best to get financial aid for this but it is all coming in as loans right now. I was advised to write a sponsorship letter detailing the course and such. I would like to ask all of you here if you would be interested in reading this one-page letter and helping me out or passing it along to others you feel may be interested.

I appreciate any help greatly.

If you are interested please pm me with your email and/or mailing address and I can get you a copy ASAP.

Thanks and Gig'Em

I'll be glad to help you. Even though I'm with UTSA lol. sadly I have to do the same thing when I declare my major.

Can't you file for state college grants to help pay for this trip?

If i hit the lotto, i'll give you $8K for free.

@ SV Dude - I might qualify for one grant that will give me $1000, but my mom (though a single parent) still "makes" too much for them to help me. So I qualify for an amount to borrow...

@ MikesToy - Dude that'd be so awesome! I'd send you something ridiculous from there, something from the land of Mordor for sure. Haha

In addition to trying to raise some money for this trip. Think it's a good idea to sell my running boards off my Limited? I've wanted to take them off for a while, may be an opportune time, but do they sell well?

What?

It was a spammer. The post and the place where you quoted it have been deleted.

ok. that's dumb.
