How do I raise money for college?
How much do you need?I believe you should have (roughly) half of what a top private university charges for one year of tuition. That would be, currently, roughly $24,000.However, the four summers of "college" are included (summer before each year of college). You should be able to make $21,000 that way. That means, you should have $3,000 in your bank account before you finish high school. Easy. Remember, most of the best universities will meet your full need, but will expect you to contribute some summer earnings towards your college finances.If your family is relatively poor, and you qualify for a Pell Grant, then all of the top universities will pay for everything else.If you can't make that level of college, then go to your in-state top public university. That will be (roughly) $100,000 for four years. You have $24,000 from above. You will get $5,500 per year from Pell Grant for $22,000. You can then borrow $27,000 from the Federal Direct Loan program. That adds up to $73,000. You could attend a community college for the first two years, (Pell Grants will pay for that in full), and the total cost will only be $50,000 and you have that from your earnings/savings and the $11,000 of further Pell Grants and you only need to borrow $15,000 from the Federal direct loan program. Easy.Don't worry, it is easy.And if you can't make at least $10 to $15 per hour in that summer after high school and in those three college summers then what are you majoring in???All the best.
How can I raise money for college tuition?
Ok, so let me start off with I am looking for reasonale ideas, not sell a part of my body or crazy things like that, thank you. I applied to FAFSA as a dependent, and only received about a $2,000 loan for a school that costs WAY more than that, and the bigger portion of the aid was called PLUS loan that MY PARENTS have to sign for. Now with that said, I have already tried to gain independent help, and until I am 26, my parents will ALWAYS be calculated into the equation. Sorry, but I am hoping to have my career START at that age, not when I am 32. The only affordable school that I can attend that will offer a degree in music that is in my state does not accept financial aid anyway...so that boots out FAFSA altogether. I tried applying for a private student loan, and I was denied and told I need a cosigner. I have ZERO willing cosigners because of the economy the way it is. I DO have a full time job, but it is enough to pay for rent, utilities, and other bills that are needed and what I have left over will barely pay for food on my plate. I cant save money THAT way to pay for school. It would take me my whole life. So now that you know all of that information, what else can I do? I have been out of high school for nearly three years now because of the dilemma with my parents going back on their promises, and now I feel stuck. I cant find a scholarship anywhere that is offered to people who have been out of high school for that long. They are all for students that are juniors and seniors in high school. So I feel like I am screwed in every way possible. Now I ask that you re-think my question and tell me, is there anything else I can do? I want to go to school so badly, but I feel as if I will never get there because of all this crap getting in my way. And please, dont put down gambling as an option, that is NOT an option that is a stupid way to become broke unless I am that 1 in a million person that actually gets the lucky stroke. I hope to find reasonable answers here, and I really hope that someone can give me some sound advise. I feel so hopeless.

A college baseball team raises money by sellling baseball caps. The cost of making the caps includes a fixed?
Number of caps produced: x Fixed cost: 500 Variable cost: 7x Total expense: 500 + 7x Income: 15x For the team to raise money, income > expense: 15x > 500 + 7x 8x > 500 x > 62.5 The minimum number of caps the team can order and still raise money is 63 (the smallest integer greater than 62.5).
Should I raise money to buy college textbooks?
Are you thinking of crowdfunding that money? If you are... I have two thoughts.1) Consider what you'll give back to those who give to you. (i.e. "perks")2) What's your story? And can you make a video?Re: Giving backYou should really put some thought into the "perks" or prizes that you'll offer for different levels of giving. Assuming that serious textbooks still cost something like $50-$150 each, it'll be hard to crowdfund even one textbook's cost unless you can offer something cool in return. What services or items can you offer in return for your donors' giving?Re: Telling a good storyIf you're doing this just to get free cash - like a personal charity fund just for you - it's going to be stinking hard. A good story might give you a chance. But the more you ask for, the more compelling that story's gotta be. You're going to need perks and a good story though. What's your story?
How can a college magazine raise funds?
For a college magazine, Probably my way of approach towards raising funds would be like….Firstly it completely depends on what is the volume you are targeting …For Ex: It is for 1000 magazines, Assume each magazine would take 200 bucks to print complete Expenditure =2,00,000.Next go for ads from different Ed-tech startups and Local software Institutes and If you could do some research you will find ,any companies who will be interested in advertising their business in your college magazine.If you and your friends could manage to get atleast 35 companies on board ..Let see how numbers work.You would ask not more than 10000 from each company, That means this would sum up to 35* 10000= 3,50,000….Revenue= 3,500,000–2,00,000= 1,50,000Implies 1,50,000 as pure profit…..Approach your friends for crowd funding and if you could manage funds to print your magazine….My $0.02
College algebra help!?
Profit = [Sale price x units sold] - production costs Sale price = 10 + x, where x is the price increase Units sold reduces by per dollar increase in price, so sales = 20-2x Production costs is $6 per unit sold, so production costs = 6 x (20-2x) Plugging these into the main equation: (10+x)(20-2x) - (120-12x) Which expands to 200 - 2x^2 + 20x - 20x - 120 + 12x Cancel the + and - 20x values and simplify the numbers to get: Profit, P = 80 - 2x^2 + 12x *************************** To find the value of sale price, 10+x, where no profit is made: 0 = 80 - 2x^2 + 12x Re-arrange and simplify: 2x^2 - 12x = 80 ---> x^2 - 6x = 40 ---> x = 10 Therefore, a sale price of $20 means no profit is made. ************************** To find the values where $90 profit would be made: 90 = 80 - 2x^2 + 12x ---> 45 = 40 - x^2 + 6x Re-arrange: x^2 - 6x + 5 = 0 Using the quadratic equation with a=1, b=-6, c=5 gives x = 1 and 5. Therefore a sale price of $11 or $15 would give profit of $90 per week.
My daughter is trying to raise money for college. Any suggestions?
This isn’t really a “Venture Capital” category question since nobody is going to “invest” in her college. It just doesn’t work like that. That said, I have an idea you are going to like and one you are going to hate.Setup a GoFundMe PagePlenty of young women have done this and have had success. Many of them will provide some sort of community service and solicit donations to her GoFundMe page. Friends and family can also donate that way too. If just 20 people in a family put in $50 each then she will have $1,000 towards books and fees. Relatives can also donate for birthday and other events. Some have been very successful. If she is able to get local news coverage for her volunteer activities then donations will pour in.Join the Sugar LifestyleThere are plenty of creepy old guys that love sending money to young girls and often they don’t have to even meet them or compromise their integrity, safety or morals. Of course, those are the exceptions to the rule. Many end up moving on to “interacting” with the guys. Fewer still move on to doing cam shows or ending up in some form of adult entertainment either as a live adult entertainer or appear in adult films. The fact that you are actively involved in your daughter's life will typically keep her from going down the wrong path, but I had to post this alternative since it is the way that many young women choose to pay for college these days. It is the reality of the world we live in.Disclaimer: I am not advocating for #2 just reporting the reality that is out there. As per one of the comments his daughter had great success with #2 without significant negative interactions. It is a reality of the world we live in.
