<p>It's a ten-day program at Princeton in August 2011. All expenses-paid, selective and prestigious. Five of our alumni are at Princeton with dozens more at Harvard, Yale, Columbia and other top schools. 2011 marks the tenth year of the program. </p>
<p>The application deadline is February 4, 2011 at 11:59PM. </p>
<p>More instructions and the application can be found here: Summer</a> Journalism Program: The Princeton University Summer Journalism Program. Please e-mail us at <a href="mailto:sjp@princeton.edu">sjp@princeton.edu</a> if you have any questions.</p>
<p>I recently found out about the program, and I don’t have much time to work on my application, but I was wonder what exactly is judged when you guys choose students?
GPA? Extra curriculars? The essays on the application?</p>
<p>I’ve been interested in this program for a while, however I’ve been reluctant to apply since my family does not meet the minimum requirement for annual income. There are a few ways I can see my family as being “under resourced” but not dramatically so. I’m very serious about pursuing journalism/communications. Here’s my question - how adamant is the program on keeping to the low wages policy in response to a student who does not qualify in that particular aspect, but is eager and determined to work with your program?</p>
