Qualified Education as defined by IRS
Begin by creating an account with Scholarship.Fund. Register under the Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) Category. Students are responsible for securing a donor, which could be a family member, friend, relation, or through the public fundraising channels of BeaconProject.Charity on GoFundMe.
Deposit funds into the DAF account with Scholarship.Fund. All funds raised from crowdfunding platforms, such as GoFundMe, will be directly deposited into BeaconProject.Charity's official bank account. However, when a student initiates a fundraising campaign on community platforms or social media, they must inform BeaconProject.Charity. This will enable Scholarship.Fund to establish an account for the student and allocate the raised funds appropriately.
Independently apply to elite summer programs affiliated with top universities or schools as listed by BeaconProject.Charity. Note that BeaconProject.Charity does not get involved with the application processes of these institutions.
Upon receipt of your acceptance letter, notify Scholarship.Fund. BeaconProject.Charity, acting as the management firm for Scholarship.Fund, will then make the payment directly to the accepted summer program on your behalf.
If your chosen program is not featured on BeaconProject.Charity’s List, its quality needs verification. Both students and donors can recommend programs for review. BeaconProject.Charity will conduct an independent audit to confirm the program's elite status. If approved, Scholarship.Fund will make the payment for you. If not, students have the option to either fund the program themselves or select another program that's either listed by Scholarship.Fund or approved by BeaconProject.Charity after the audit.
When funds are sourced from BeaconProject.Charity’s crowdfunding channel, such as GoFundMe, the student's school counselor must send an endorsement of the program to Scholarship.Fund using the school’s official email. After accounting for BeaconProject.Charity’s management fees, Scholarship.Fund will transfer the necessary amount to the program's bank account. If there's a funding shortfall, students may need to cover the balance themselves.
Should a student request a refund, the returned funds must be directed to Scholarship.Fund's original donor-advised fund account, supervised by BeaconProject.Charity, in compliance with the IRS tax-exempt regulations for 501(c)(3) public charities. However, the donor retains the option to redirect payments to another eligible elite summer program.

Such as Harvard Medical School's MEDscience Summer Programs...
While attending Harvard Medical School's MEDscience Summer Programs might not significantly enhance your Harvard College application, it does bolster applications in general to all top colleges overall. Participation demonstrates your dedication and potential within your chosen career path, showing that you not only vocalize your ambitions but actively pursue them. Moreover, gaining acceptance into very selective programs like MEDscience signifies recognition and endorsement from a highly authoritative third party.
