Princeton University Summer Journalism Program

All expenses, including travel costs to and from Princeton , will be paid for. This will be the sixth year of the program, and if this summer is anything like the last five, it will be a great experience. Our last five classes of journalists 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.

To apply for the program, you must meet the following qualifications:
1) You must be entering your junior or senior year of high school in fall 2007.
2) You must have at least a 3.0 grade point average (out of 4.0).
3) You must have demonstrated an interest in journalism.
4) The combined income of your custodial parent(s)/guardian(s) plus child support payments, if any, must not exceed $45,000.

This program is intended for students from underresourced financial backgrounds. 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.

The application must be postmarked by February 15th. More information and the application materials are available on our website at Learn more
