I was only able to go because they offered me financial aid and scholarships for every session. It didn't cover the whole thing, but it was enough. It's also why I only went one session per year instead of two like most people I knew.
CTY sent me a survey after one of the sessions basically asking if I ever felt weird or ostracized because I'd gotten financial aid. At the time, I remember thinking WTF, because how would anyone know? It's not like people talked about how we could afford to be there; it just never came up. Now, I admire their intentions.
