We do suggest you look to your university, employer, or other local groups for assistance.
I can't afford to come to SGC. What should I do?
Answer
If you are convinced that SGC is worth coming to, your first task should be to share that reason with someone who can help you come, and convince them that it is worthwhile for them to support them. Share your dream and vision with you local community club, local government, and nearby universities. Ask you local space companies for support and tell them how you will make a positive change to their industry. If your desire is real, so will be their desire to help you.
Remember, they can only say no and that doesn't hurt. And, if you are lucky, they might even say yes!
Limited Scholarships are available.
