Today Congressman David Scott (D-GA) announced that applications for the 2007 Congressional Summer Page Program are available in his Washington and District offices.

The U.S. House of Representatives offers an exciting opportunity for students to participate as Congressional Pages during their junior year of high school. This unique program gives participants the opportunity to meet students from around the U.S., attend special classes and seminars at the Page School, and serve the country's leaders while working in the House of Representatives.

To be eligible for the summer program, applicants must:
• be 16 years of age at the time of their appointment
• have a "B" (3.0) average or better
• be willing to serve as a Page for one month during the summer before or after their junior year of high school

Requirements for Application:
• official transcript
• parental consent form
• 50-100 word essay on why you want to become a Democratic Page
• resume of extra-curricular activities
• 3 letters of recommendation

After reviewing the application, transcript, and additional items, Congressman Scott will choose one to two candidates to recommend for the 2007 Summer Page program, and submit a letter of recommendation to the Speaker's office in Washington, D.C. The Speaker's office will not accept applications from students directly.

Eligible students from the Thirteenth Congressional District who wish to be considered for a Page position must submit their completed application to Congressman Scott’s office for review and recommendation by Monday, April 9, 2007.
