support is difficult to achieve at
UNC, given policy that prohibits
private or public funding for SLJ
scholarships. The program only
receives funding for its operating
costs, said Ronald Bilbao, a UNC
sophomore and SLI volunteer.
To alleviate its funding crunch, the
program is competing for a $50,000
grant from Parade magazine that
would help fund scholarships for
undocumented SLI students.
The four charities in the global
