Thanks to the Institute for Responsible Citizenship for sponsoring
this program. "A journey of a thousand miles begins with one step"
Please share this information with your family, friends and your
church.
Let's get the word out and help our young men. I'm sure someone can
benefit from this. Please read everything!!!
The Institute for Responsible Citizenship is currently accepting
applications for its summer program at Georgetown University in
Washington , DC .
Each summer, 12 of the most promising young minority male college
sophomores in the country (possibly 24 this coming summer) are given
the chance to
travel to the nation's capital and engage in prestigious internships
while
taking rigorous classes at Georgetown . The courses in government and
economics are designed to provide these young men with the skills
necessary to
critically analyze the world's problems while adhering to a deep
respect for
civil liberties. When the students are not in class or at work, they
are
often called upon to attend social functions designed to help them
network
in their field.
Personal meetings with such leaders as Colin Powell, John Lewis, and
Clarence Thomas are made possible by the intimate nature of the
program. The program runs from June 3 - July 28 and is a two-summer
commitment (accommodations are made for students on the quarter
system).
During their first summer, students' primary responsibilities
outside of their internships are their academic courses. The following
summer,
in addition to their internships, mentorship with the latest cohort of
Institute students and young high school students becomes a priority.
Tuition and housing are paid for by the Institute, while students are
expected to pay for their transportation and food. In addition,
those not placed in paid internships will receive a stipend in the
amount of
$2500.
While there are no major requirements, the program focuses on
attracting young men interested in the fields of law, politics,
business,
academics, and the ministry. You should be a sophomore to apply,
however, juniors
are considered if they are committed to attending graduate or
professional school directly following their senior year. To give you
an idea of the
kind of students we have in our program, here are some statistics from
our
2006 cohort:
GPA Range : 3.02 - 3.97 Average: 3.65 Leadership in at least one
post held at time of application More information, along with the
application,
