If I were still in high school, I would apply for this
By Jeremy | February 12, 2007
... a 10-day all-expenses-paid summer journalism program held in August at Princeton University for students from under resourced financial backgrounds. All application materials are available at www.princeton.edu/~sjp Past classes were taught by writers from The Washington Post, The Philadelphia Inquirer, The Miami Herald, and The New Republic; toured The New York Times and ABC News, meeting with editors and producers; attended and covered Yankees, Mets, Jets and Liberty games; and reported, wrote, edited, designed, and produced a 12-page edition of The Princeton Summer Journal on the program's final day. The program is also designed to give students a taste of what life is like at one of the best colleges in the country - students live on campus and eat in one of the university's cafeterias. Students meet with the Princeton University 's president and the school's dean of admissions - people who are able to offer guidance on the difficult decisions about college that high school students face. The program is staffed by young alumni of Princeton, current Princeton students, and students who attended the program in past summers.Applicants must meet the following qualifications: 1) Entering junior or senior year of high school in fall 2007. 2) Minimum 3.0 grade point average (out of 4.0). 3) Demonstrated interest in journalism. 4) Combined income of your custodial parent(s)/guardian(s) plus child support payments, if any, must not exceed $45,000. But if the combined income of your custodial parent(s)/guardian(s) plus child support payments, if any, exceeds $45,000 and you still wish to apply, you can attach a note explaining why you believe your family qualifies as financially underresourced. HERE'S THE CATCH: The application must be postmarked by February 15th. More information here.
