Congratulations! This is a very exciting opportunity and likely it is one you have earned by having good grades, high scores on testing, and respectful relationships with your teachers and advisors who often fill out lists for these programs as recommendations for who to contact.
With the economy as poor as it is, it is hard to find donors to pay for these. I have 5 children, and have seen a few things similar to this over the years. On the one hand it is so very enticing and feels wonderful to be selected. On the other hand, it is a tease because they put it out there and dangle it infront of you and then make it virtually impossible to accomplish.
What we did? We took the letter and information, kept it special. Gave it a place of honor on the wall for awhile and then in a memory box for later, used specific information quotes from it for college applications and job applications in the "honors and accomplishments" section. Being "nominated" for this course can spin into many other opportunities for you.
As far as wanting to find ways to keep in touch with your strong medical interests, there are a few things you may not know about: Being a volunteer, at a large nursing home or medium sized hospital, will earn you trust with important people in medical administration. There are scholarships educational opportunities available locally, and they would have first hand knowledge of those things. You might start off as a candy striper, but as the professional medical staff gets used to seeing you around, you will be included in conversation involving medical terminology, disease states, diagnoses and treatment courses. Take seriously the kudos this will provide on your college and job applications as well.
I am excited for you, and know that if you SPIN this into an esteem building experience, it will be a sound step towards more opportunities. Good luck!
