• Guidance and supervision: The Summer School Director, senior staff, faculty and Resident Assistants live on campus with students, providing academic counseling and supervision 24 hours a day.

Expenses not included in tuition are off-campus meals and transportation to and from the Summer School.

Scholarships are available
The Junior Statesmen Foundation administers a Summer School Scholarship Fund of more than $750,000 to assist students who find the tuition to be a barrier. These funds were donated by Summer School alumni, businesses, government institutions and philanthropic foundations. The Alice Tweed Tuohy Foundation , for example, has established an annual Scholarship Fund of $40,000 to enable outstanding high school students to attend The Junior Statesmen Summer School. A Scholarship Committee annually awards partial scholarships from this fund using the following criteria: financial need, academic excellence, demonstrated leadership ability and evidence that an applicant is highly motivated to attend.

Because the demand for scholarships is so great, and because of its commitment to help as many students as possible, the Scholarship Committee awards only partial scholarships, the largest being up to one half of the tuition.
