Reply To: Fundraising Ideas for Shana Bet… funding in community exhausted 4 shana aleph

Thanks! When I said that thing about a boy not working while in yeshiva and a girl having to work while in seminary (keep in mind that I work two hours a week when I am not in class for my work study to get extra scholarship money towards my tuition) I meant that boys usually get completely sponsored verses, my mom still has to pay quite a bit of the cost such as my medical bills, flight, and certain purchases I make, I have a credit card that my mom told me I need to use for something so that the credit card company knows that I exist because I didn’t want her to pay the bill for it. This year, aside from some debt incurred from switching programs, I am basically taken care of financially.

However, the issue is that next year, I won’t be so well taken care of financially, unless I do something about that now. I understand that I should do some sort of work study, however, I don’t want to spend several hours a week working because then I won’t be able to enjoy my year.

In terms of the Ben Zakkai society, I would have to be nominated for that, because although I did get scholarship money from ncsy, I only got money from my region- not from ben zakkai. Thank you for suggesting that I contact those places though!
