INFORMATION FOR STUDENTS
Outstanding 10th and 11th grade students are nominated by educators or invited by the program to attend the Washington Journalism and Media Conference and serve as National Youth Correspondents based on strong academic performance, a demonstrated interest in journalism and media, and the ability to be exceptional representatives of their states and high schools.
There are a limited number of partial, need-based scholarships available for qualified students. Scholarship applicants must submit a High School transcript, must demonstrate financial need, and all applicants will be required to submit a copy of the most recent 1040 Federal Income Tax Form from the individual who claimed them as a dependent. Partial scholarship amounts are $1000, $1400, $1700, and $2000 and are applied as tuition waivers.
A fundraising guide for a list of suggested ways to raise funds for this once-in-a-lifetime experience is also available.
