Take me to Stanford

I got a letter in about the second week of Feburary about a summer program at Stanford University all the way in California. I live in Florida. I can buy myself a plane ticket and they offer me room and board but the Tuition to go is 3,595$ and my family just doesn't have it. I'm not asking for a handout. I'm asking for an investment in my future. If the plans fall through all money will be returned please do not make anymous donations. The money is due by March 24th.
