<p>I've been searching this forum on and off for days, but I can't seem to find a good list of free (or cheap) summer programs that don't deal with science, engineering, etc. If you know ANY please post them here!</p>
<p>what part of the country? Residential or commuter?</p>
<p>Residential and I’m open to any part of the country.</p>
<p>Are you open to international travel?
-National Security Language Initiative for Youth
-CIEE South Korea Scholarship
-American Youth Leadership Program with Cambodia</p>
<p>Otherwise:
-Telluride Association Summer Program</p>
<p>Non residential internships:
-US Department of State Summer Clerical Program
-Bank of America Student Leaders</p>
<p>…that’s what I can think of off the top of my head.</p>
<p>some programs do have financial aid if you qualify. Do you want a whole summer program, or a few weeks to a month?</p>
<p>I don’t think I’d qualify for financial aid. I’m open to international… In fact I’d love it. I’d prefer shorter one to three week programs though.</p>
<p>RSI (@MIT)
research internship/volunteer with local college (just ask a professor, worst thing that can happen is that they’ll say no)</p>
<p>There’s many! You just have to get out there and research. Sure it’s time consuming, but in the long run it will pay off.</p>
<p>From the ones I attended/applied to:</p>
<p>Pepperdine University Youth Citizenship Seminar
Princeton Journalism Program (I forgot the name but you have to show extreme financial need to qualify)</p>
<p>My friend went to COSMO as well and he received a complete financial aid! c: Hope that’s helpful!</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>I thought of TASP, but nothing else was on the top of my head. If you’re in California and close to the Bay Area, there’s ATDP/summer classes at UC Berkeley, but I can’t think of anything else other than that. Just go with what you think you will enjoy. In my opinion, having a full experience at the place you spend your summer at is far more important that which college you go to.</p>
