All this talk of economic advantage is all well and good, but a bit off. RSI, the summer program Viviana (and the previous two years' winners) attended is free of charge to those that get in. In fact, the organization (CEE - see http://rsi.cee.org) that helps to fund it also funds other programs in public schools. The program is selected ENTIRELY on an academic basis, without regard to race, gender, or economics.
