 The
Washington Intern Experience
-
The Washington Workshops Foundation offers the the Washington Intern
Experience to motivate high school students interested in government
and politics. Students can attend a three to six weeks internship in
a Congressional office or politically related committee, council or
state office on or near Capitol Hill. Students are also given the
opportunity to conduct an in-depth study on legislative politics.
The three week internship costs $3250 and additional week add-ons
are priced on a pro-rata proportional basis. The cost includes full
tuition, a workshops staff member's access at all times, breakfast
and dinner each day in the campus cafeteria, and daily
transportation to and from campus to the placement offices. This
also includes a non-refundable $150.00 application fee. Students may
schedule attendance for a three, four, five or six week program
between June 17 and July 28, 2007. Students should apply by
completing an enrollment card, and submitting it along with the
nonrefundable fee of $150.00, a typed resume (see the requested
information on the
website), a letter of character reference, a letter of academic
reference, and a one page typed essay entitled, "Why I Want to be a
Washington, D. C. Intern."
Harvard
Summer School
- For over 40 years Harvard
has welcomed high School
students into its summer
Secondary School Program and
they plan to continue this
tradition in 2007. Students
in all grade levels can
choose from among dozens of
Harvard Summer School
Courses that include acting,
creative writing, math,
language, astronomy,
biology, chemistry, computer
science, just to name a few.
Students actually take
college courses along with
Harvard College Students
while at the same time meet
students from around the
world, take part in
social/recreational and
college prep activities.
Most courses are taught on
an 8-week format, although
there are several 4-week
intensive courses. According
to program creators, by the
time the summer ends you
will have grown both as a
student and as a person.
Tuition & fees range from
approximately $3000 to
$5000, depending on the
courses taken and housing
and insurance costs are
added to this. However,
financial aid is available
for students who qualify.
Please read further about
the cost options at the
Harvard Summer School
website. You may also
view a list of available
courses and you can apply
for this program at the
