The 2013-2014 United States Senate Youth Program applications are now available. The United States Senate Youth Program (USSYP) was created to help outstanding high school students broaden their knowledge and understanding of Congress and the legislative process in our nation’s capital. Each year, the USSYP sends two delegates from every state to spend a week in Washington, D.C., where they study our government firsthand. The 2014 program will be March 8-15, 2014. There is also a $5,000 college scholarship for each delegate.
More information about the USSYP HERE.
