私立(K-12)學校的獎助學金

私立K-12是沒有資格從州,聯邦拿到錢的,不是大學因為科研的原因拿到很多政府的錢,也不可能有大學那麽實力雄厚的校友捐款。私立大學動不動60%學生接受資助。私立K-12這是不可能的。我孩子學校一個年級400多人,有幾個人接受資助就不錯了,還多是學校為了多元化,給勞模老黑了。中產的華裔父母就不用想了。資助也是校友和我這樣的父母捐款。學校每年發很多捐款要求,有些是專款,就是專門給優秀學生的financial aid. 私立K-12絕對不是need-blind. They can't afford it.

我孩子做義工的一個慈善組織,他第一天去家長要簽paperwork.接待我的女士和我聊天。她女兒5歲,剛剛考試進入Harker,她挺自豪的。她說當然我沒錢啦,學校offer她女兒financial aid. 在那慈善組織做的我估計超不過五萬一年,而且人家是勞模。我欣賞美國這點,貧困但優秀的子弟還是有希望的。現在紅起來的Jessica Chastain就是我們加州出身的貧寒子弟,是靠著Robin Williams提供的financial aid上的Julliard School in NY. 看過她的訪談,她一直感謝Robin Williams, 寫過信給他,還想當麵感謝他,但還沒機會見到Williams就去世了。非常感人的故事。所以有能力上私校就為學校捐款吧,對華裔本身也是大有好處的。

摘錄一段:
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]
