Looking for exceptional high school juniors with a passion for journalism who would be good candidates for the all-expenses-paid conference at the Newseum in Washington, D.C., June 21-26, 2014.

Free Spirit Program for High School Juniors

 

The Free Spirit program began in 1999 and is funded by the Freedom Forum to honor Al Neuharth, the founder of the Freedom Forum, Newseum, and USA TODAY.

This will be an incredible, potentially life-changing opportunity for 51 fortunate students from across the country.

Eligibility is limited to students currently in their junior year (and scheduled to graduate in 2015).
