Students will observe committee hearings and floor debate, meet with top-level policy makers in the Commonwealth of Virginia, and tour historic buildings,” stated a release.
The program will run from January 29 to 31 in Richmond.
More on how to apply, from a release:
Applicants should demonstrate robust academic performance, strong leadership skills, a diligent work ethic and an interest in their state government.
