<p>“and there are even funds to go to conferences with your professor”</p>

<p>Passionflower, that’s a great point and one I forgot about. Even without a STRIDE or Z, Smith will provide funds to attend conferences, etc. Last yr. students I know on two occasions had all expenses, airline included, paid (regardless of income) to attend conferences. What other colleges will dip into their coffers to afford students this wonderful learning experience?</p>

<p>I’m not sure why a lot of students turn down the Z, as Stacy stated. It’s their loss. I should have stressed more the Z and STRIDE are amazing programs b/c of the internships, not to mention the incredible honor of having been awarded either.</p>

<p>But PassionFlower, even without a scholarship, Smith still offers an untold number of <em>perks</em> far and above many LACs.</p>
