Response to my request to become a Professional Student.

Thank you for your inquiry of April 18, 2012 requesting support from the Rockefeller Brothers Fund for personal assistance to become a professional, life-long student.

Unfortunately, the Fund cannot provide the support you seek as we do not award grants to individuals. We primarily award grants to non-profit organizations whose initiatives specifically match the strategies that are the focus of our programs. 

As we are not familiar with those agencies or foundations that do assist individuals, we would like to suggest that you contact The Foundation Center, which offers publications and other information you might find useful in your search for funding. Please visit their Web site at www.fdncenter.org, write to them at 79 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY 10003-3076, or telephone them at 1-800-424-9836.

We regret the disappointment that this reply may cause and wish you success in finding the support you are seeking.

Sincerely,

Grants Management

Rockefeller Brothers Fund

my response (thoughts in my head at the time look at that one day beuatiful professionalism, did not act the part of expressing outrage though as no need)
