Presidential Classroom Scholars Program

The PC Scholars Program offers students a backstage pass to the inner workings of the federal government and an opportunity to examine how current issues affect public policy.

This focused view of the federal government gives PC Scholars direct access to national leaders and often inspires students to seek careers in public service.

Presidential Classroom provides the next generation of civic leaders with an extraordinary academic and leadership development experience in Washington, D.C. High School sophomores, juniors and seniors observe the federal government at work, witness the development of public policy and explore the roles of citizens, lawmakers, experts and businesses in the world’s most successful democracy.

Presidential Classroom takes students behind the scenes of our nation’s capital for seminars and discussions featuring members of Congress, presidential appointees, senior military officials, top business leaders and journalists. Students also observe the United States Congress in action, visit the renowned sites of our nation’s capital and debate key issues with their peers. Many PC Scholars mark their week in Washington as a turning point in the search for their future role in society.
