私立(K-12)学校的奖助学金

(2015-01-12 08:55:46) 下一个
私立K-12是没有资格从州,联邦拿到钱的,不是大学因为科研的原因拿到很多政府的钱,也不可能有大学那么实力雄厚的校友捐款。私立大学动不动60%学生接受资助。私立K-12这是不可能的。我孩子学校一个年级400多人,有几个人接受资助就不错了,还多是学校为了多元化,给劳模老黑了。中产的华裔父母就不用想了。资助也是校友和我这样的父母捐款。学校每年发很多捐款要求,有些是专款,就是专门给优秀学生的financial aid. 私立K-12绝对不是need-blind. They can't afford it.

我孩子做义工的一个慈善组织,他第一天去家长要签paperwork.接待我的女士和我聊天。她女儿5岁,刚刚考试进入Harker,她挺自豪的。她说当然我没钱啦,学校offer她女儿financial aid. 在那慈善组织做的我估计超不过五万一年,而且人家是劳模。我欣赏美国这点,贫困但优秀的子弟还是有希望的。现在红起来的Jessica Chastain就是我们加州出身的贫寒子弟,是靠着Robin Williams提供的financial aid上的Julliard School in NY. 看过她的访谈,她一直感谢Robin Williams, 写过信给他,还想当面感谢他,但还没机会见到Williams就去世了。非常感人的故事。所以有能力上私校就为学校捐款吧,对华裔本身也是大有好处的。

摘录一段:
Chastain first developed an interest in acting at the age of 7 after her grandmother took her to a production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, which starred David Cassidy.[13] Chastain said that she struggled academically as a student at El Camino High School in Sacramento. With too many absences during her senior year in 1995, she did not qualify for graduation but eventually obtained an "adult diploma".[14][15] She later attended Sacramento City College,[15]where she was a member of the debate team (1996–1997).[16] In 1998, she appeared as Juliet in a production of Romeo and Juliet staged by TheatreWorks,[17] a professional theater company in the San Francisco Bay Area. A scholarship by Robin Williams provided the funds for Chastain to attend Juilliard School in New York City,[18][19] where she was a member of the Drama Division's Group 32 (1999–2003), which also included Michael Urie and Jess Weixler.[20] She was an active participant in the drama department and starred in several theatrical productions and student film projects. She graduated from Juilliard with a B.F.A. degree in 2003.[21][22]
