Colonial Dames Scholarships for Congressional Seminars

Students who attend the Washington Workshops come back to their schools raving about the experience. The Colonial Dames offer a way for high school students to take part in this nonprofit educational program by providing tuition, seminar materials, university campus housing, two meals each day, a week of learning about the national government, and having fun with other state representatives who are also interested in politics and history.  If you are familiar with the Colonial Dames essay competition for this award, be warned that the deadlines, both for online and offline entries, have been moved up to 12/01/12 for mailed in submissions and 11/28/12 for online submissions. The theme for this year is “How does the Monroe Doctrine determine our past and present dominance as a world power.”
