Scholarship eligibility

Each year, a limited number of full and partial scholarships are awarded to those applicants able to demonstrate all of the following:

• Significant financial need

• Passion and dedication to art and design

• Interest and commitment to the program

• United States citizenship or permanent resident status

Requirements for applicants

All applications must include all of the below requirements in order to be reviewed for admission. Each application is dated and reviewed on a first-come, first-served basis and incomplete applications cannot be processed for review. Students interested in applying to the program must submit the following:

• A completed application with electronic signatures from both you and a parent/guardian

• $60 non-refundable application fee

• Proof of English proficiency, if English is not your primary language

• A 200-250 word response to each of the following questions:

  • What artistic and academic goals do you hope to achieve by attending RISD Pre-College? Share what you’ve participated in and/or what barriers you’ve faced in your arts learning journey.

  • Describe a challenging time when you had to be self-motivated to work through and complete a project or task. What are the personal skills that helped you and what personal skill sets would you like to improve upon at RISD Pre-College?

  • RISD is committed to providing a safe and inclusive community. What do you hope to see in an inclusive environment? What do you think you could contribute and/or gain?

Payments

Students who are accepted to the program will receive a decision letter with information on how to submit a deposit. A $1,000 non-refundable deposit is due within five business days after acceptance to the program. The remaining payment balance is due by April 30, 2024. Students applying after this date must pay all tuition and fees in full within five business days after acceptance. Visit Tuition and Fees for full tuition information.

International students will have the option to pay via FlyWire (wire transfer – recommended method), credit card, or check (from a domestic bank account). Visit Tuition and Fees for full tuition information.

English proficiency

All applicants who speak English as a second language, including US citizens, must submit results from any one of these three options: TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language), IELTS (International English Language Testing System) or Duolingo* (an online English test). Since proficiency in English is a prerequisite for acceptance, applicants must attain an acceptable score on their chosen test; RISD requires a minimum result of 93 on the TOEFL, 115 on Duolingo or 6.5 on the IELTS.

Scholarship financial eligibility

In recent years, recipients typically come from families reporting a collective income of approximately $55,000 annually. The application requires documentation demonstrating all forms of income, including an outline of significant assets and other financial benefits (Social Security, unemployment, etc.). Although the application does not require a qualifying income, we encourage only those students who feel they have faced significant financial hardship to submit a scholarship application. Individual household circumstances are taken into consideration.

How to apply for a scholarship

Within the application, indicate that you’d like to apply to the program as a scholarship student via the ‘Program Information’ tab. The $60 application fee will be waived.

If you plan to attend the program despite the outcome of aid, we encourage you to apply through the regular application and forego the request for a scholarship review. That’s because scholarship applications aren’t reviewed prior to the scholarship application deadline, and if you aren’t awarded a scholarship, your major and/or space in the program may be filled before you’re able to re-apply as a non-scholarship student.

Scholarship application requirements

• A completed application with electronic signatures from both you and a parent/guardian

• A letter of recommendation from a guidance counselor, teacher or a mentor within the field of art and design

• Proof of English proficiency, if English is not your primary language

• A 200-250 word response to each of the following questions:

  • What artistic and academic goals do you hope to achieve by attending RISD Pre-College? Share what you’ve participated in and/or what barriers you’ve faced in your arts learning journey.

  • Describe a challenging time when you had to be self-motivated to work through and complete a project or task. What are the personal skills that helped you and what personal skill sets would you like to improve upon at RISD Pre-College?

  • RISD is committed to providing a safe and inclusive community. What do you hope to see in an inclusive environment? What do you think you could contribute and/or gain?

Participants will attend online workshops and lectures with renowned journalists from all over the country throughout the month of July. Students complete weekly reading assignments to stay abreast of current events, begin preparing their own articles, and work with their assigned college counselor to complete components of their college applications. During our residential institute, students will visit Princeton from their hometown and stay in University undergraduate dorms, attending workshops and lectures taught by renowned educators and journalists.

All costs to attend the residential summer institute, including air or ground transportation to and from campus, housing, meals, and equipment for assignments, are covered by the program. 

The Princeton Summer Journalism Program (PSJP) is intended for students from limited-income backgrounds with excellent academic achievement, who are considering pursuing a career in journalism.

Qualified applicants will:

• Be a junior in high school at the time of application. No exceptions will be made for students graduating with other grades.

There is a space on the application for students whose experiences fall outside of our academic and financial requirements to explain any extenuating circumstances that warrant reconsideration.

Current juniors, apply by Thursday, February 15, 2024.
