# Princeton Programs for High School Students

Princeton keeps its high school programs deliberately small: a famous fully funded journalism institute, plasma-physics research through its national lab, and student-run math and civics competitions.

Less volume than its peers, but the flagship programs are free and genuinely selective — worth planning an application cycle around.
