<p>Has any one heard about this program? Is it prestigious and/or competitive? My son’s classmate sent out a form letter asking for doanations so that he can attend the program in Georgetown in June. The letter states that the program is limited to 250 outstanding high school students who are interested in government and politics. The boy asking for the money is finishing up his sophomore year at a private high school.</p>
<p>I was surprised that someone would ask for money outright like this boy did (without offering any service in return).</p>
