Two Idaho high school juniors or seniors have the chance to spend a week in Washington, D.C., to learn about public service careers through the U.S. Senate Youth Program.
The Idaho Capital Sun reports the program is accepting two student leaders from each state to visit Washington, D.C., in March 2025 and hear from senators, cabinet members, officials from the departments of State and Defense and directors of other federal agencies.
All transportation, hotel and meal expenses will be provided by the Hearst Foundations, and students will receive a $10,000 college scholarship.
To be eligible, students must be actively involved in qualified leadership positions, enrolled in high school and living in the state that they will represent for the entire 2024-25 academic year.
The deadline to apply is Oct. 11.
