The US Senate Youth Scholarship Program is accepting registrations for it's qualifying exam until Thursday, October 2nd. Any junior or senior who holds an elected or appointed position in one of a variety of student government, civic or educational organizations is eligible to apply. (Other details apply. See the program description and registration form for specific information.)

Two $5,000 scholarships will be awarded and winners will receive an all-expense paid trip to Washington D.C. to meet with the Massachusetts Senate Delegation and other government leaders.

In order to qualify for the scholarship, students must take and earn a top-ten score on the qualifying exam. The top ten students will then be interviewed and write an essay before selection of the winners is made.

If you are interested, review the program details and submit the completed registration form to the School Counseling Office by the end of the day on Thursday, October 2nd. We will fax all completed registration forms to the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education for processing.

Thanks and good luck!
