United States Senate Youth Program

The United States Senate Youth Program, administered by the District of Columbia Office of the State Superintendent of Education, is designed for high school students residing in the District of Columbia who are interested in public service and leadership. This initiative aims to support and encourage qualified student leaders from the district who demonstrate a strong commitment to government, leadership, and public service careers. The program provides selected students with educational funding to help cover their postsecondary expenses. To participate, applicants must meet the residency and leadership criteria outlined by the state office. Because this program is managed alongside other state-level financial aid initiatives, students should complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or any required state financial aid applications to coordinate their funding.
