The Annual United States Senate Youth Program authorizes the selection of 104 student delegates in the U.S. The delegates are immersed in Washington activities throughout their week-long stay, including visits to the Senate, the House of Representatives, the Supreme Court and the Pentagon. Delegates hear major addresses by senators, cabinet members and officials of the Department of State and the Department of Defense, as well as other federal departments. All expenses are paid for the week-long Washington stay, including transportation, hotel accommodations and meals. In addition, each delegate is awarded a $10,000 college scholarship for undergraduate studies.  The student applicant must currently be serving in an elected capacity in student government, civic or educational organizations.  Selection will be based on academic accomplishments, community service, knowledge of current American government issues and procedures and demonstrated qualities of leadership for the current school year.  See Mr. Nichols if you are interested in participating in our school's nominating process.  A qualifying test will be administered to interested students the week before fall break.
