PLEASE READ THIS INFORMATION THOROUGHLY
BEFORE REGISTERING AT THE BOTTOM
Full Registration: $359
Space is limited, particularly for advanced tracks, and historically we fill up quickly, so we recommend you register early!
Eligibility
Students entering their first year of high school through those entering their first year of college are accepted to the program. However, we will accept alumni up to age 19 as long as they are eligible to participate in one of the advanced tracks.
First-year* students will be members of the House of Representatives in the Mock Legislature Track, unless they have fully participated in an Onsite program. In this case, they may participate as Senators.
Second-year* students will be Senators in the Mock Legislature Track, UNLESS they are entering their Junior or Senior year in high school. In that case, they are eligible and may participate in the Business, Judicial, Media or Campaign tracks.
Third-year* or higher students have the option of participating in any track, although the Advanced Tracks are expected to fill quickly, as a limited number of spaces are available in each track.
*Note: First-year students are those attending SSI's Summer Program for the first time. Second-year students are attending the Summer Program for the second time, and so on. It does not pertain to what high school year you're entering, or whether you attended the Onsite Program.
For additional explanation see the eligibility page.

Eligibility: 10 or more students must register to be considered a group. All groups must be pre-established and are subject to SSI's prior approval.
How to do it: One person acts as the contact person for the group, or the organizer. That person should keep a list of all of the students involved in the group, and must submit that list to SSI by March 31. Members of the group submit their registrations to SSI on their own, indicating on the registration what group they are with and the name of the group contact person. You cannot be part of a group without being on the group contact person's list.
