The Princeton University Summer Journalism Program

The Princeton Summer Journalism Program is a year-long college preparation program for high school juniors who are interested in journalism.  For the summer of 2023, the program will take advantage of lessons learned during our three virtual summers to offer our first ever multi-week, hybrid summer intensive, which will culminate in our annual 10-day residential institute on the Princeton University campus in New Jersey.

Eligibility: Year-long college preparation and journalism program for high school juniors from limited-income backgrounds. Every summer, up to 40 students from across the country explore current events and world affairs through workshops and lectures led by Princeton professors, professional journalists, and alumni on campus. The summer program culminates in a 10-day residential experience on Princeton's campus, during which students publish our annual newspaper, the Princeton Summer Journal. During their senior year, students are matched with a personal college adviser, who will work with them on their college admissions process.
