Wow, I won a @costumecollege scholaship!

[pinkdiamond]

So tuition, a night at the hotel and a year’s membership to CGW- it’s a kind of coupon code thing when registering So that make me a double ICG member ;)? Just kidding 😉

So now comes the tough part. I don’t have the money to fly from NZ to the US :/ Please note I have researched all my options, but there are some simply not available to me as someone living in New Zealand. They just aren’t. Please don’t make any suggestions as I can’t act on them. If you can think of it *I already have.*

So this can be used in 2017 too, which may or may not work out.

Congratulations!! :D

Fingers crossed 2017 works out, I'd really, really love to meet you in real life after reading your LJ and drooling of your costume pics for literally YEARS.

If there's any way we can help, let us know. I know I'm not the only one who would love to welcome you to coco!

Woohoo! Fingers crossed for 2017!

Oh that's so awesome!! Congratulations and well-deserved!

Praying this can happen for you!

An indiegogo or gofundme?? I'll give you money.

I second gofundme! I know lots of people who have successfully raised money for themselves that way. And congratulations on the scholarship!

I can't. The T&C are clear, I have read them. Ditto what it means here in NZ.

I posted an update as a friends only post :)

Congrats! I just found out another friend won a scholarship too. I'm so happy for you guys. I really hope you can go in 2017 (selfishly) because I may get there for that one too!

YAY for the scholarship! Boo for the airfare! Do you have any feasible options we could fund-raise for you?

[pinkdiamond.livejournal.com]

Other people can fund raise but I can't ask them to. So really frustrating because I'd like to have an actual plan of action on this.

Right now I'm looking through my Stash and deciding what I can part with and what I know I will regret passing on. Basically if I can pass on fabrics and projects for a short term goal or keep them for a few years down the track.

Congratulations, even if it isn't affordable to fly there. I hope it will work out for 2017!

Congrats for whenever you can 'cash' it in!
