Ask HN: I got invited to a US math summer program; I'm in India and need help

(I posted this on /r/math too.)

Hey, HN.

I'm a junior / 11th grade student in India. I just got an invite email from HCSSiM[1]. Now, barring the fact that it'll be difficult for me to even pay the airfare (for myself alone, let alone taking a parent with me, I might think about Indiegogo or something), there's a bigger problem staring me in the face: how do I get to the program location alone?

I have no relatives in the US, and I think it'll be very difficult indeed for me to travel alone within the US (not to mention extremely unsafe and worrying to my parents). The program's going to be held at Hampshire College, I think, and I don't think any flight to the US will get me to Boston directly.

Oh, in case it's not clear, I really, really want to go. They might (they have in the past) teach Galois theory, or knot theory, or projective geometry there, for heavens' sake.

What do I do? Any ideas, HN?
