Common Q&A:
Q1. I can not afford the fees for the class, is there anyway I can still attend?
Fees are used to cover the direct costs of the program/class. This particular fees includes the cost for admission to all attractions, transportation, all three meals, snacks and refreshments, class material and class supplies. Through the grace of Allah (SWT) and our generous donors ILIA offers two different types of financial support for classes. Financial aid (reduced fees up to 50%) is offered as a form of sadaqa to those who do not meet the requirements of zakat, and Financial Aid (installment payments, up to 6 installments) for those who qualify. Eligible students can receive both a discount up to 50% and installments for the remaining amount as applicable.
Q2. How do I get financial aid?
(1) Please complete the appropriate application from the website at http://www.islamicleadership.org/resources/forms/ (2) Email the completed form to finance@islamicleadership.org (3) Wait until you receive a discount code within 48 hrs to apply at registration time.
Q3. Can I join my child? Are fees for parents different?
Yes you can join your child. Fees are the same, since the class has no margin and fees barely cover the direct costs.
Q4. My child is turning 12 next month, the website states that minimum age is 13, can he still attend if he is a responsible student?
Yes, inshaa Allah. We will require a letter of recommendation from his school teacher, stating that he is a responsible student at school and follows instructions. The letter can be emailed directly to ILIA at ss@islamicleadership.org
Q5. What is the last day to register?
The last day to register and get a reduced fee is March 20th, 2011.
Q6. How big is the group?
Inshaa Allah each bus will have 45 students and 9 chaperons and 1 instructor.
Q7. I am a mom, if I join my son would we be split in the buses?
Adult sisters may join the brothers bus – although we are sure they will find the sister’s one – more comfortable and quiet. Adult fathers may not join the sisters bus to allow our sisters to be comfortable during meals and other group activities on the bus.
Q8. If we drive on our own it will not cost us $90 per person, what is the benefit of joining the ILIA group?
The program is not a trip. It is a field class including many delivery approaches (exhibits, demos, group activities, talks, peer interaction). The class is designed for high school students and young college students. The main objective of the class is to motivate and inspire our youth in becoming leaders in research and scientific innovation. Also special talks on how to excel in high school and college research assignments will be provided among many other activities. For groups up to 4 people it is more economical to join ILIA just based on a purely financial decision. You will save on gas, tolls, parking, museum fields, meals, snacks, activities’ costs and supplies.
