The United States Senate Youth Program (U.S. SYP) is a unique educational experience for outstanding high school students interested in pursuing careers in public service.
The 49th annual program will be held in Washington, D.C., from March 5 - 12, 2011. The Program brings the highest-level officials from each branch of government together with an outstanding group of high school students — two high school juniors or seniors — from each of the fifty states, the District of Columbia and the Department of Defense Education Activity — for an intensive, week-long educational program held in Washington, D.C.
The program is merit-based and highly competitive and each student will receive a one-time, $5,000 undergraduate college scholarship with encouragement to pursue coursework in history and political science. All transportation, hotel and meal expenses will be provided by The Hearst Foundations.
Student delegates will also hear major policy addresses by Senators, cabinet members, officials from the Departments of State and Defense and directors of other federal agencies as well as participate in a meeting with a Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court.
Please read the brochure for more information about the U.S. Senate Youth Program. The application deadline is Friday, October 15. Please see Mr. Cotton if you would like an application.
