Help me get to St. Louis?

[Tim Lehmann4967]

Start a GoFundMe and post it on CD, people usually respond to those type of things pretty well.

Talk to your high school, they usually support high caliber students.

Talk to local businesses, they may be willing to pay if you interned/worked for them over the summer.

Make some marketing materials that show your coolness, pass them out to friends/family, local community, etc...

Get a Job.

Sell flowers in the spring. I sold hanging flower baskets in Boy Scouts, and if you work it, you can make a large sum.

Just some ideas, there is plenty of money to be had in the world.

All of the above of course, and don't forget your team sponsors! When presented with your situation, one or more of them may be willing to kick in a bit more to get you to St. Louis. You should make each of these a personal presentation, perhaps with another team member if you think this would help; most Dean's List winners should be able to do this solo.
