So following the caption I am a rising junior in my univeristy and i got into Algoverse Ai research program with a 30% scholarship. Now even the remaining amount is too much for me and I am just trying to weigh my options if this program is actually even worth it for me as I have seen posts that it is very worth it for highschoolers but is it for someone in university especially who is a rising junior. Along with this, I want to know the truth that do this program actually lead to publications? If I were to pursue this program is there any way I can obtain funding from a third party or request for more aid because I genuinely cannot afford it as the exchange rate to dollars is insane in my country. Would really appreciate honest and raw advice.
Thank you in advance.

Assalamualaikum, Hope yall are doing well. So i have been teaching online in UK thru a firm for about 2 years now. They pay less but as long as the money comes im fine. Recently, I applied to another UK firm known as Find your tutor. Now they are offering almost half per hour of what I am currently earning. The thing that bugs me is that these firms take aroud 15 - 30 pounds but will a fraction of this to the actual people who are teaching. How can one not be bound on these ppl as they eat up most of the money and leave us working for more. I have a decent profile with good grades and currently studying in a reputable uni as well so I think im a decent tutor and since I have been teaching for quite a good amount of time, there should be a way to upgrade my pay grade.
