Education and Training

NEW Leadership™ New Jersey is scheduled for June 4 - 9, 2009 at the Eagleton Institute of Politics, on the New Brunswick campus of Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey. Applications for the 2009 NEW Leadership New Jersey summer institute are no longer being accepted. Please check back in January for the 2010 program.

Cost
CAWP receives donations from corporate sponsors and individuals to cover most program expenses. Each participating college and university is requested to pay a $500 program fee for each of their
students attending the summer institute. The program fee covers housing, food, and all program materials for the full six days of the program.

There is no cost to the students. Students are responsible
for their own transportation to and from the summer institute. A limited number of scholarships will be available to students who are unable to obtain sponsorship from their schools.

Eligibility
NEW Leadership™ New Jersey is open to undergraduate students enrolled in any New Jersey college or university and New Jersey residents enrolled in out-of-state schools.

CAWP is committed to including women from diverse socioeconomic, ethnic, racial and educational backgrounds in each NEW Leadership™ program. We strongly encourage women of color, nontraditional college women, and students majoring in fields outside political science to apply.

Commitment
NEW Leadership™ New Jersey participants are expected to attend all summer institute sessions and live in the residence halls during the entire program June 4 - 9, 2009. In completing this application, you acknowledge that you are aware of these requirements and agree, if accepted, to make every effort to meet this commitment.

Application submission for the 2009 summer program is closed.
