Private fundraising are increbible even in education

When you live in Kalamazoo district, Michigan and you attend public schools until the end of highschool without droping of, you win a college scholarship. You imagine, college which is normally thousands of dollars for only a year is free.
Is this benefit coming from the state ? No ; this "gift" comes from mistery donors ; wealthy contractors and perhaps retirees among the district. Incredible story no.


You can also at the end of highschool, if you think you are the new Steve Jobs, Bill Gates  or Mark Zukherberg, try to win a Thiel fellowship. Mr Thiel is a billionair, he founds paypal. There is a big selection among the applicants. If you win, you musn't go to college (it's the deal) and you begin to work about your idea ; Thiel gives you a lot of money and  his social network to meet everyone you want from Silicon Valley contractors to scientists.
 So which idea convince you the most to make America the winner of new technologies?
