Can I get the money to go to Germany for a year?

Can I get the money to go to Germany for a year?
I was recently rejected from the Congress Bundestag Youth Exchange program. I don't have any idea why, but the past is the past. Right now AFS is offering me partial aid so I would only have to pay 6,000 dollars for a year abroad. The problem is that I'm a graduating senior and have already been accepted into college and have about 10 days left to sign the enrollment slip and make a deposit. Is there any sure-fire way I could earn 6,000 over the summer (scholarships, fundraising ideas, etc)? because if I went I would need to save the little money I do have for my first year of college.

Hey Sean It seems like you have some opportunities coming your way if you hussle. Let me recommend an item that has worked for other people in your sitaution. Look into scratch cards from professional fundraising companies. They come in different varieties, it just depends on what you can get excited about. They're an easy sell because people want to save money on items they're going to buy anyway. For the price of a couple dollar donation to you they get a coupon. Each card can raise over $100 so the money will come in if you put in the effort. If you can get family and friends to help you that $6,000 is doable! In the meantime do things like put on a BBQ at a local mall in the summer, dog walking etc. More fundraising ideas at the links I've found. Good luck with whatever you choose.
