Applications Now Being Accepted for Students Inside Albany Program

For the fourth consecutive year, the League of Women Voters of Scarsdale will select two high school students to send to the annual Students Inside Albany conference, to be held May 17-20, 2015. All Sophomore, Junior and Senior students who attend Scarsdale High School or who reside in the school district are eligible to apply.

The cost of the conference, including hotel and meals, will be co-sponsored by the LWVS New York State Education Foundation, Inc. and our Scarsdale League.

Applications can found at the Scarsdale LWV's website (LWVS.org) and are due by February 3, 2015.

Students Inside Albany is an intensive four-day conference designed to immerse students in the process by which public policy is proposed, revised and enacted in New York State, and to educate them about the ways in which they can influence and affect this process. Scarsdale students who attended this conference in the past were unanimous in their enthusiasm about the program, which allowed them to interact with students from all over the state, learn about their state government and meet state legislators.
