<p>Any others? This is a great thread, and I hope that we can find more programs. I'm afraid most summer programs are a bit too expensive for me, so I'm looking for programs like these. :)</p>

<p>azsxdc has given links to the freestudenthelp.blogspot.com/ in several places on cc. If one looks closely you will see that this site is nothing but repeats of posts already on cc, complete with former errors and misspellings. It is nice that everything is on one site but let’s give credit where credit is due.</p>

<p>I wish I knew this existed a couple of months ago - especially TASP. I can’t afford anything (maybe $100) and I had NO IDEA some of these programs offer summer earnings recovery! I definitely couldn’t afford to lose my six busiest weeks of work… well, this would be my last year for anything, basically. Ah, well. At least I’ll be paying my bills this summer.</p>

<p>Sweet thread, thanks to the creator.</p>

<p>Bump :)! More please!</p>

<p>Transpotation is included…they paid for my flight</p>

<p>tranportation is included for kettering’s aim program</p>

<p>NSLI-Y summer/semester/and year study abroad programs. Everything paid including transportation and though it sounds too good to be true it’s REAL! (Writing this post from Taiwan right now)</p>

<p>It sucks how half of them are for URM’s. It’s great for the URM’s, not so much for the rest.</p>

<p>Does anyone know if Pennsylvania has a governor’s school? I know we probably don’t anymore because of the budget cuts, but I just want to be 100% sure. Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>Diller Teen Fellows
A yearlong Jewish leadership program that culminates in a three week trip to Israel
It costs $2500, but they have great financial aid and you can usually get more from your synagogue/community. Personally I only paid $500
You have to live near/in one of the cities that has the program. The current cities are San Francisco, Baltimore, Boston, Los Angeles, Metro West (it is somewhere in New Jersey), Montreal and Pittsburgh.
