Letter for Sponsorship

I am trying to get a sponsorhisp from a few different companies. It is for me personally. I am trying to attend a study abroad program in London for a month with my school. I will be unable to attend if I dont get some financial help. This is a letter that I just started working on. This is a first time for me, so I realize that this letter will need a lot of work. Please let me know of anything that I can do to make it better. Here is my email. Email Removed

Dear (Person’s Name),

I have been given an opportunity of a lifetime. I was accepted into a study abroad program, to study in London for a month, where I will be taking classes. Unfortunately without the help of your company, I will be unable to participate in this once in a lifetime opportunity. I am asking for you to sponsor me, so that I may attend this wonderful program.

I graduated from Collins College School of Design and Technology where I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Visual Arts. I am currently attending Mesa Community College, where I am pursuing a new degree in Film. I am still using the skills that I learned with my degree, however I have finally realized my passion, and that is Film. During my time in London, I will be taking two classes, which will both help me become a more unique and diverse filmmaker. The most important thing is that I will use this experience to meet new people from other cultures, as well as to expand my knowledge of the world.

Ever since I was a child, I interested in the fine art. The timeless beauty and elegance that it can provide really inspires me and everything I do. Looking at another’s art is like peering into their soul, even if it’s just a glimpse. This education abroad program will provide me with the opportunity visit the Louvre, which is not only home to the greatest collection of art ever compiled, but has been a dream of mine since I was a child. Through this education abroad program I will finally get to experience it. I will have a video camera with me as well as my computer, so the trip will be documented and posted online.

This trip is everything to me. If there is anything I can do to make this more beneficial for you or your company, I will be more than happy to accommodate. I would be extremely grateful for any money you would be able to provide. I am in need of only $3500 to make this dream come true. It is more than an educational trip; it is a trip that will build my very foundation as a person, and help me grow as a professional film maker. The experience for me as a student will be a once in a lifetime addition to my education. I greatly appreciate the time and consideration you are giving me, and I look forward to hearing from you. Listed below are my phone number, and my email address which are the best ways to contact me.



Sincerely,



Steve Fohey
