Well there was this international institute at Wake Forest University and it was only 10 US kids with like 20 kids from around the world and all scholarship-based. Sadly, this is the last year they’re having it (as the funding was only there for a certain amount of years).

The other one is the Congressional Academy. My history teacher gave it our class and three people from my school got it. I think it’s a relatively new program and maybe in it’s first or second year through a grant from the US Department of Education. They said it’s supposed to be two delegates from each state, so idk how the three people thing worked but I haven’t heard of anybody else from our state that’s going. It’s all paid for and you get to spend two weeks in Washington DC so I’m not complaining.
