I applied and received a phone call from one of your staff. From my honest answers, she scheduled me for a follow-up call. I had to cancel due to lack of funding. I think that partial scholarships should be offered for those of us who want to make a difference but do not have the means to do so. It is frustrating for me to have my dream of writing a book and not be able to strictly because I don’t have money. If Dr. Lauria was really wanting to help make a difference then there should be a way to work the financial situation out for me. Even though I couldn’t participate, I believe in your approach and follow through therefore I will try again later on. I was excited to make the first cut and I am confident I will make it in time. Thank you for your support.
