<P class=MsoNormal><FONT color=#0000ff face=Arial></FONT><BR>Dear School
Administrator / Teacher,<BR><BR>If you are a teacher, we ask that you encourage
your students to apply to this <B><U>all-expenses-<WBR>paid program</U></B> at
Princeton University. If you are an administrator, we ask that you help us
spread the word by publishing an announcement to teachers or other
administrators who might know students who would be interested in applying. See
below for more information.<BR><BR>We are writing to inform you about an
all-expenses-<WBR>paid summer program for high school student journalists from
low-income<SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d"> </SPAN>backgrounds that will take place
for 10 days in August on the campus of Princeton University. The program is
entering its ninth year; since 2002, more than 165 students from high schools
across the country have been selected to participate in the program. They were
taught by journalists from <B><I>The New York Times, The Washington Post, The
Philadelphia Inquirer, The Miami Herald, The New Republic and The New
Yorker</I></B>; they covered Yankees, Mets, Jets and Liberty games and held a
press conference with New Jersey's secretary of state; they met with Princeton
University's president and dean of admissions; they received counseling on their
college applications from our staff, which consists of Princeton University
alumni and undergraduates; and they published their own newspaper. We hope that
you will consider nominating some of your students to participate in this
exciting program for aspiring young journalists.<BR><BR>Below is a quick list of
instructions and pointers for having your students fill out the
applications:<BR><BR>Please feel free to nominate as many students as you have
who are interested. We will happily accept several students from the same
school, so there is no need to worry about your own students competing for slots
in the program.<BR><BR>The application process will take place in two parts. For
the first part, students should fill out the attached application, and then
email it to <A href="mailto:sjpapplication@gmail.com"
target=_blank>sjpapplication@<WBR>gmail.com</A> as a Microsoft Word attachment.
(If the student does not have access to Microsoft Word, the student should just
copy and paste the text of the application into an email.) Before emailing us
the application, students should name the document using the following format:
Lastname.Firstname.<WBR>doc. So, if the student's name is Mary Jones, the title
of the document will be Jones.Mary.doc. In addition, the student should type his
or her name and high school in the body of the email and put only the name of
the Word document (e.g., Jones.Mary.doc) in the subject line of the email. We
must receive the application by 11:59 p.m. ET on February 5, 2010. No extensions
will be given for any reason.<BR><BR>In the second round of the application
process, finalists will be interviewed by the program directors—either in person
or over the phone—and they will be asked to provide printed copies of the
following items via U.S. mail: an official transcript; the first page of the
2008 (or 2009, if available) income-tax return form (the 1040 or 1040EZ form) of
their custodial parent(s)/guardian(<WBR>s), or a signed statement by their
parent(s)/guardian(<WBR>s) saying that their income is below the level at which
they would be required to file income tax returns; a recommendation letter from
a teacher; and clips from their high school newspaper or other publication
(optional).<BR><BR>To be eligible for the program, students must meet the
following qualifications:<BR>- They must currently be juniors in high
school.<BR>- They must live in the continental United States.<BR>- They must
have at least an unweighted 3.5 grade point average (out of 4.0).<BR>- They must
have an interest in journalism.<BR>- The combined income of their custodial
parent(s)/guardian(<WBR>s) plus child support payments, if any, must not exceed
$45,000.<BR>Note: This program is for students from low-income backgrounds. If
the combined income of the custodial parent(s)/guardian(<WBR>s) plus child
support payments, if any, exceeds $45,000 and a student still wishes to apply,
he or she may attach a letter explaining why his or her family qualifies as
financially under-resourced.<BR><BR>If you have questions, the best way to reach
us is via email at <A href="mailto:sjp@princeton.edu"
target=_blank>sjp@princeton.<WBR>edu</A>. Please note that applications should
be sent to <A href="mailto:sjpapplication@gmail.com"
target=_blank>sjpapplication@<WBR>gmail.com</A>, which is a GMAIL address.
Questions should be sent to <A href="mailto:sjp@princeton.edu"
target=_blank>sjp@princeton.<WBR>edu</A>, which is a PRINCETON
address.<BR><BR>All application materials—as well as additional information
about the program—are available at <A href="http://www.princeton.edu/sjp"
target=_blank>www.princeton.<WBR>edu/sjp</A>.<BR><BR>A final word: We know that
the process of applying to any selective program can be stressful, not to
mention a lot of work—for students as well as their teachers. But, over the
years, the students we have had come through our program have told us that,
ultimately, the work they put into their application was worth it.<BR><BR>For
students without access to Microsoft Word, we are pasting in the application
text below. Thank you.<BR><BR><BR>The Princeton University Summer Journalism

href="http://www.princeton.edu/sjp"
target=_blank>www.princeton.<WBR>edu/sjp</A><BR><BR> <BR>Dear
Applicant:<BR><BR>Thank you for your interest in the Princeton University Summer
Journalism Program. We’re looking forward to reading your application and, if
you are selected for the program, getting to know you this summer.<BR><BR>What
is the Princeton University Summer Journalism Program? We welcome about 20 high
school students from low-income backgrounds every summer to Princeton’s campus
for an intensive, 10-day seminar on journalism. After the program ends,
counselors stay in touch with students to help guide them through the college
admissions process. Counselors assist students in preparing for standardized
tests, determining an appropriate list of colleges to apply to, and filling out
applications and financial aid forms. The program’s goal is to diversify college
and professional newsrooms by encouraging outstanding students from low-income
backgrounds to pursue careers in journalism. All expenses, including students’
travel costs to and from Princeton, are paid for by the program. Students who
attend the program come from across the country. The program will enter its
ninth summer in 2010.<BR><BR>What is the program like? Classes at the program
are taught by reporters and editors from The New York Times, The Washington
Post, The New Republic, The New Yorker, CNN and ABC News, among other media
outlets. Students tour the Times and CNN; cover a professional sports event (in
past years, a Yankees, Mets, Jets or Liberty game); cover news events in the
Princeton area; film and produce a TV segment; and report, write, edit and
design their own newspaper, The Princeton Summer Journal, which is published on
the program’s last day. The program is also designed to give students a taste of
what life is like at one of the best colleges in the country—students live on
campus and eat in one of the university’s cafeterias—and to prepare them to
apply to top schools. Students meet with Princeton’s top professors as well as
the school’s president and its dean of admissions. Students attend seminars on
every aspect of the college admissions process. They also take a practice SAT
and attend an SAT class taught by Princeton Review. After students return home,
program staff remain in contact with them, assisting them during the college
application process and helping them to apply for journalism internships once
they are in college.<BR><BR>What have our students accomplished? More than 165
students have graduated from our program during the past eight years, and many
return each summer to serve as mentors to our current students. We are proud of
their academic and journalistic accomplishments. Four of our alumni are
currently enrolled at Princeton. Others have gone on to Harvard, Yale, Stanford,
Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Duke, the University of Pennsylvania, Williams,
Amherst, Middlebury, Georgetown, Bowdoin, the University of Virginia, Johns
Hopkins, New York University and many other selective schools. Their work has
been published in college newspapers across the country, including <B><I>The
Daily Princetonian, The Yale Daily News, The Brown Daily Herald, The Columbia
Spectator, The Cornell Daily Sun </I></B>and<B><I> The Bowdoin Orient</I></B>.
Our alumni have also landed jobs or internships at <B><I>The New York Times, The
New Republic, The Philadelphia Daily News</I></B>, NBC and CBS, among other
outlets. Alumni reflections on the program can be found here.<BR><BR>Who is
eligible? This program is intended for low-income students with excellent
academic records who are committed to pursuing a career in journalism. To apply
for the program, you must meet the following qualifications:<BR><BR>- You must
currently be a junior in high school.<BR>- You must live in the continental
United States.<BR>- You must have at least an unweighted 3.5 grade point average
(out of 4.0).<BR>- You must have an interest in journalism.<BR>- The combined
income of your custodial parent(s)/guardian(<WBR>s) plus child support payments,
if any, must not exceed $45,000.<BR><BR>Note: This program is for students from
under-resourced financial backgrounds. If the combined income of your custodial
parent(s)/guardian(<WBR>s) plus child support payments, if any, exceeds $45,000
and you still wish to apply, you may attach a statement explaining why you
believe your family qualifies as financially under-resourced.<BR><BR>How to
apply. The application process consists of two rounds. For the first round, fill
out the application below, and then email it to <A
href="mailto:sjpapplication@gmail.com"
target=_blank>sjpapplication@<WBR>gmail.com</A> as a Microsoft Word attachment.
(If you do not have Microsoft Word, please just paste the text of your
application into the body of the email.) Before emailing us the application,
please name the document using the following format:
Lastname.Firstname.<WBR>doc. So, if your name is Mary Jones, the title of your
document will be Jones.Mary.doc. In addition, type your name, the name of your
high school (including the city and state location) and the email address where
you would like to be contacted in the body of your email and put only the name
of the Word document (e.g., Jones.Mary.doc) in the subject line of the email.
<B><I>We must receive your application by 11:59 p.m. ET on February 5, 2010. No
extensions will be given for any reason.</I></B><BR><BR>After we receive the
first round of applications, we will select a group to proceed to the second
round. If you are selected for the second round, the program directors will
arrange to interview you—either by phone or in person—and we will also ask you
to mail us printed copies of the following documents:<BR><BR>- Your official
high school transcript<BR><BR>- The first page of the income-tax return form
(the 1040 or 1040EZ form) for the calendar year 2008 of your custodial
parent(s)/guardian(<WBR>s); or a signed statement by your
parent(s)/guardian(<WBR>s) saying that their income is below the level at which
they would be required to file income tax returns. (If the form for calendar
year 2009 is available, you may send that instead.)<BR><BR>- A recommendation
letter from a teacher<BR><BR>- Clips from your high school newspaper or other
publication (if you have them)<BR><BR>Note: From the time they are notified that
they have made it to the second round, applicants will have about two weeks to
mail these items to us.<BR><BR>Here are some tips about the application
process:<BR><BR>1. When sending us your application or when contacting us for
any reason, use an email address to which you will have regular access
throughout the application process. Do not change your email address or stop
checking email in the middle of the application process.<BR><BR>2. Send all
applications to <A href="mailto:sjpapplication@gmail.com"
target=_blank>sjpapplication@<WBR>gmail.com</A> — please note that this is a
GMAIL address. Send all questions about the program to <A
href="mailto:sjp@princeton.edu" target=_blank>sjp@princeton.<WBR>edu</A> —
please note that this is a PRINCETON address.<BR><BR>3. Proofread and edit your
application carefully before submitting.<BR><BR>4. Most importantly, this
program is for students who are interested in journalism—who are planning to
write for their college newspapers and who are at least strongly considering an
eventual career in journalism. Every year, we receive applications from students
who are smart and talented—but who are not really interested in journalism.
Apply to this program only if you are serious about pursuing a career in
journalism.<BR><BR>A final word: We know that the process of applying to any
selective program can be stressful, not to mention a lot of work. But, over the
years, the students we have had come through our program have told us that,
ultimately, the work they put into their application was worth it.<BR><BR>The
program directors are all looking forward to reading your application. If we can
answer any question along the way, don’t hesitate to contact us. The best way to
reach us is at <A href="mailto:sjp@princeton.edu"
