Due Nov. 20: 2020-21 U.S. Senate Youth Scholarship Program
The 59th annual United States Senate Youth Program (USSYP), established in 1962 by U.S. Senate Resolution, awards two student leaders from each state and the District of Columbia a week in Washington, D.C. to experience their national government in action. Delegates hear major policy addresses by senators, cabinet members, officials from the Departments of State and Defense and directors of federal agencies. Delegates will also participate in a meeting with a justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. Each delegate is awarded a $10,000 college scholarship for undergraduate studies.
The competition is limited to juniors and seniors who are currently serving in any of the following student government offices:
Student body president, vice-president, secretary or treasurer
Class president, vice-president, secretary or treasurer
Student Council representative
National Honor Society officer
Student representative elected or appointed to a district, regional or state-level civic or educational organization
If students are unable to hold leadership positions this year due to the pandemic, they can submit the position they held during the 2019-2020 academic year. All student leadership qualifying positions are subject to the judgment of the state selection administrator and will be verified and confirmed.
For more information, view the USSYP brochure here.
The USSYP Washington Week will be held online the week of Mar. 14, 2021. The exact timeframe of the program is to be decided.

On the basis of the personal interview, essays, letter of recommendation and application, judges will select two student delegates to represent Oklahoma and a first and second alternate.
