Doing this expensive leadership program! Need grants

Paying for College

<p>Hello!
I am doing the Diller CSI program. It is very expensive and I need a grant!
[Diller</a> Teen Fellows](<a href=“http://www.ujfmetrowest.org/page.aspx?id=160312]Diller”>http://www.ujfmetrowest.org/page.aspx?id=160312)</p>

<p>Let me know of any organizations that would be willing to help.</p>

<p>You need to look in your community for donations. Start there.</p>

<p>It looks like there might be scholarships available on that site (Alisa Flatow?) Check to see if they can be used for this program.</p>

<p>You also need to think through very carefully just exactly whether you need to pursue this specific program or not. Yes, it is an honor to be selected, but if you can’t afford it, you can’t. You should be able to get equivalent volunteer and leadership experience by committing to a 40 hour week at a non-profit in your own neighborhood for the next year. Look around and see what you can find that is free or cheap.</p>

<p>I can afford it. I just would like some aid.</p>

<p>Well if you can afford it, then pay for it. I HIGHLY doubt you will get much help outside of your local community.</p>

<p>Why would/should someone else pay for something that you want? Esp when there are other ways to get this kind of experience.</p>

<p>ok well thanks for your uneducated opinion. thanks a lot guys</p>

<p>MRTV, you need to face reality. Organizations are not going to just hand out money. There are many many “leadership programs” for students. Your local community would be your best bet!</p>

<p>And I would just like someone to help me buy a BMW… which I can’t afford. Think someone will help me? </p>

<p>Honestly, you do need a serious reality check. It’s very unlikely other people are going to hand you money for something like this. The only possible source I can think of is perhaps your local synagogue. But then again, if you can afford it, no one is going to give you free money. “If you have the means, it means you pay!”</p>

<p>If we offered ‘uneducated opinions’ then perhaps you can educate us so we can offer better advice.</p>

<p>Ok stage mothers!</p>

<p>According to Wikipedia,

<p>And this has what to do with your dissatisfaction regarding the answer you’ve been given here?</p>

<p>The Diller is a great program. OP, bubbeleh, you don’t seem to get the point of the program, which is to “develop future generations of Jewish leaders who will be committed to the Jewish people, Israel, and community service.” Here’s lesson number one, for free:</p>

<p>Don’t insult people when you ask them for help (or, for that matter, a donation).</p>

<p>Taking a look at the application, I notice that the applicant and parents/guardian are supposed to sign an agreement that includes the following text:</p>
