Hello! I was looking into the blueprint summer program and it looked super interesting, so I wanted to go, but it’s a little pricey for my family. Does anyone know of any financial aid/scholarships for this program? My counselor refused to help, unfortunately. Thank you!
As far as I know, they only “aid” they offer are discounts if you register early. That being said though, don’t let that discourage you from finding some way to go! I went this past summer to the University of Virginia, and it was the best summer of my life, and even led me to apply there! (I hadn’t even considered it before then). It was extremely beneficial in putting me ahead of the game applying to college, for scholarships, etc.
I would try talking to your counselor again. I was able to convince mine to sponsor me, and simply explained how much it would benefit me to attend. After I went, they liked it so much that she decided to send a student every year. If your counselor doesn’t sponsor you still, reach out to local businesses! Write letters, talk to friends you know, etc. and find a local sponsor!
I hope it works out for you and you’re able to attend!
