This form is a sample letter in Word format covering the subject matter of the title of the form. [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Parents’ Name] [Parents’ Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Dear [Parents’ Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to discuss a matter of utmost importance regarding my finances as a college student here in California. As you know, pursuing higher education at a prestigious institution does come with its financial burdens. Therefore, I kindly request your assistance in providing financial support to help alleviate some of the expenses I am facing. Since my admission to [College/University Name], I have been fully immersed in my academic studies and have dedicated ample time to my coursework, research, and extracurricular activities. As a result, I have not been able to find part-time employment to cover my personal expenses. Living in California, known for its high cost of living, has proven to be quite challenging. While I have been thriving academically, it has become increasingly difficult to meet various expenses such as housing, textbooks, meal plans, transportation, and other miscellaneous costs. Unfortunately, my current financial aid package does not fully cover all these necessary expenses, leaving me in need of additional support. I understand the financial commitments you already have and genuinely appreciate the sacrifices you have made over the years to support my education. It is with a deep understanding of your ongoing dedication and support that I felt comfortable turning to you in my time of need. To assist you in understanding how your generous financial support will be utilized, I have outlined some of the major expenses I need to cover: 1. Housing: I am required to live on-campus for the first two years, and the cost of housing alone is a significant portion of my expenses. Additionally, there are additional charges for utilities and campus amenities. 2. Textbooks and Study Materials: The cost of textbooks and study materials is exorbitant, making it difficult for me to afford all the necessary resources needed for my coursework. As a result, my academic performance may suffer if I am unable to access the materials required. 3. Meal Plans: The cost of meal plans on campus is quite high, especially considering dietary restrictions and specific dietary needs. A well-balanced and nutritious diet plays a crucial role in maintaining good health and academic performance. 4. Transportation: California is known for its extensive commute times, and public transportation expenses quickly add up. In order to commute to my internships, research projects, and other off-campus activities, I require regular transportation, which can be quite costly. 5. Miscellaneous Expenses: Over the course of the academic year, unexpected expenses may arise due to medical emergencies, academic supplies, club memberships, and other university-related activities. I sincerely believe that your support would alleviate the financial strain I currently face and allow me to focus wholeheartedly on my education without constant financial worries. I assure you that I am fully committed to my studies and will continue to work diligently to maintain academic success during my time at [College/University Name]. Furthermore, I kindly request that you consider providing financial assistance to support me during this crucial phase of my academic journey. Any amount you are able to contribute would make a significant difference and be immensely appreciated. I understand and respect whatever decision you make, but I wanted to reach out to you in the hopes that you would be able to contribute to my educational expenses. Thank you for taking the time to read this letter and for your continuous support, both emotional and financial. I am eternally grateful for everything you have done for me, and I look forward to discussing this further with you. With all my love and gratitude, [Your Name]
