ya, i got an invitation from them too about two years ago. they offered to let me go to China and a few other places. it is pretty expensive (cant remember specific costs-north of $400 at least) and i dont think they pay for anything - even scholarships. I think the program is meant to be more of a learning experience and provide something to put on college applications. I did not do it as it was too expensive and there was no financial benefit for me.

i have gotten those when i was in high school and i never went because they are expensive. and old friend went to one because her father paid for it and Shure she went to all these cool places however i do not think anything happened after such as she did not receive any scholarships from them ar anything. but that was a while ago so try calling them and asking if you are truly interested.

If you are one of your school's best students then chances are you were nominated and it may be legitimate. If you are not a great student then do not fall for it. Either way, if you choose to go then it may be costly and they will recommend ways for you to pay for it, such as raising money from your relatives, friends and neighbors who are more inclined to help you if you are not from a wealthy family and if you are a good kid, well rounded and smart. Otherwise you may be creating a burden for your parents so be sensitive to the whole thing, which it sounds like you already are. Going to Europe will enhance your education, help you look at things from a bigger picture more worldly view and may someday help you get that job, or some other opportunity. So it is worth it if you can do it. Good luck. P.S. I am concerned about your spelling errors, and lack of courtesy to capitalize letters in the beginning of each sentence above. You may fail the essay question and not get to go anyway.

99.9% its a scam, meaning that they are doing it for the money so you won't get any scholarships. If you really want to do one of those travel type things, do it through your school, and you might be able to get scholarship or other financial aid.
