<p>I placed a seriously LD overseas senior into a 5th year boarding program in the US where he got an 80% scholarship and in turn ended up with three full scholarship offers to US colleges. He only got 80% becasue his parents had the ability to pay the rest.</p>
<p>And that's not the only kid. I've helped a few others get into boarding school so that they could get out of difficult home situations. Boarding schools are terrific options for kids who are bright and in need--and some of the schools have amazing resources. Oiram has proved that HE has the resources to help his sister make those apps. He is bright--and I am making the assumption that his sister is bright as well. She obviously financially eligible for all kinds of help.</p>
<p>Frankly, arranging a scholarship to a boarding school is a hell of a lot less drastic than fighting a drug addled parent for custody and assuming parental responsibility as a new 18 year old freshman.</p>
