International Relations Contests and Programs

I’m really interested in pursuing international relations in the future, and I really want to enter a contest or complete a program that is about that subject. I’ve done some research and found a few, but I’d really appreciate it if anyone could recommend some that they’ve heard good things about or entered. I don’t really want programs that cost thousands of dollars to attend and are not really prestigious or difficult at all to get into, I’d prefer something a little more competitive that preferably is free. Also, I’m interested in the Benjamin Franklin Fellowship and the Foreign Service Essay Contest, if anyone has any personal experience with those and could give me some info. Also, I’m going into junior year, if that helps. Thanks!!

You should apply to NSLI-y if you like languages, I’m going to be a junior and I’m going to apply for Turkish summer. Also, Seton Hall has a sustainable development challenge in the spring, it’s a pretty cool opportunity
