Dear [Parent's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. As the new semester is underway here at Suffolk College in New York, I wanted to take a moment and share with you some important information regarding my financial situation. Suffolk County, located on Long Island, is a vibrant and picturesque place where my college is situated. It offers an incredible array of opportunities for personal and academic growth. However, as an out-of-state student, the cost of living and educational expenses have proven to be quite challenging for me to manage solely on my own. During my time here, I have strived to achieve excellence in my studies and actively participate in various extracurricular activities to enrich my college experience. As a result, I have come across unforeseen expenses that have put a strain on my finances. These include purchasing textbooks, essential academic resources, lab fees, and unforeseen personal emergencies. While I have been diligently working part-time to cover some of these costs, I find that my income is insufficient to meet all my financial obligations. Therefore, I humbly request your support in helping me overcome these financial hurdles and continue to focus on my academic pursuits. I understand that you have been supportive of my college education thus far, and I am extremely grateful for everything you have done. I wish to express how much your contributions have positively impacted my growth and learning. Given the circumstances, I would appreciate it if you could consider sending some financial assistance to aid me in this period of need. Enclosed with this letter, you will find a breakdown of my current expenses, including tuition fees, housing costs, transportation, meal plans, and essential educational materials. I have meticulously assessed my budget and ensured that I am only seeking assistance for legitimate and necessary expenses. To facilitate the transfer of funds, please find my bank account details below: Bank Name: [Your Bank Name] Account Holder's Name: [Your Name] Account Number: [Your Account Number] Routing Number: [Your Routing Number] Branch Address: [Your Branch Address] I understand that you might have financial commitments of your own and that my request may add additional strain to your resources.

Your assistance at this time will give me the peace of mind to focus on my academic pursuits and make the most of my college experience. Thank you for taking the time to consider my request.
