Each year, the United States Senate Youth Program brings two students from each state, the District of Columbia, and the Department of Defense Education Activity to Washington to experience an intensive week-long educational program about the workings of the Senate and the federal government. This Program is from March 7th-14th, 2015. Each of the 104 student delegates will receive a $5,000 undergraduate college scholarship, and all-expenses paid trip to the nation’s capital. The student delegates will visit Capitol Hill, the White House, the Pentagon, the State Department, the Supreme Court and other historic sites in Washington. The agenda routinely includes meetings with Senators, the President, Cabinet Secretaries, a Justice of the Supreme Court, senior members of the national media and other policy makers.
The 53rd Senate Youth Program Week will take place in Washington, D.C. from March 7 -14, 2015, and state designees will be required to attend all days. The entire week will be planned and coordinated by the Hearst Foundation. It will include many specific functions and events at national landmarks; however, personal free time will be extremely limited. Applicants should take this under consideration when applying. The delegate selection is administered by each state’s chief school officer in cooperation with high school principals. Delegates must be:
- Current high school juniors or seniors
- An elected student officer for the 2014-2015 academic year
- Residents of Alaska
