Raising Funds for Your Trip
American Music Abroad will offer a few fundraising programs before the tour. Announcements will be emailed to you, so make sure you are checking all the email form the AMA office.
Many students have been successful getting sponsors to help cover the cost of the tour.
One NY student raised half the cost of her tour with a recycling drive!

Some typical sponsors are: Church or other religious organizations where you are a member; Service groups such as VFW, American Legion, Rotary International; and of course friends and relatives. Offering to make a presentation after you return will often get you sponsorship.
Below are some items to help with getting sponsors.
