*Princeton** University** *
*Summer Journalism Program
*
I am writing to inform you of a 10-day all-expenses-paid summer
journalism program held in August at Princeton University for
students from under resourced financial backgrounds.

All application materials are available at
*http://www.princeton.edu/~sjp.
*
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, met 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 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.

*Applicants 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 under resourced 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 under resourced.

The application must be postmarked by *February 15th*. More information and
the application materials are available online at
*http://www.princeton.edu/~sjp.
*
If you are a teacher, please distribute these materials to your students and
to other teachers at your school. If you are a school board administrator
and can have an announcement posted in a newsletter to all high schools,
please do so. If you are another type of school administrator, please
distribute these materials to anyone who might be interested.

*Please direct any inquiries to rinderle at princeton.edu*
*and include a phone number and an e-mail address where you can be reached.*
