The biggest key to fundraising is to
start early. Like many things, it can often take
longer than one might expect. And don't wait to find
out if you received a scholarship or not to start

and may not be awarded until late in the process,

Your fundraising can be broken down
into simple steps to clearly define your goals and
help you reach them quickly:
-
Define your target amount: use
our easy
funding

-
Create a timeline: decide
how
much you need to
make through fundraising, how
you will do it, and when
each fundraising effort will take place (use the
Ideas pages to help)
-
Start fundraising!
