DARLINGTON - State Sen. Howard Marklein, R-Spring Green, announced the selection of three students from the 17th Senate District who will be participating in the 2016 Senate Scholar Program over the next several weeks.
The students selected for the program completed an application process and were selected to participate by the office of the Senate chief clerk.
Josh Weaver, from Darlington High School, was one of the three students chosen. Weaver will be participating during week two from Sunday to Feb. 19.
The Senate Scholar Program, coordinated by the Senate chief clerk, is an intensive week-long educational program offered by the Wisconsin State Senate. Admission to the program is highly competitive and is limited to 33 academically exceptional high school juniors and seniors from around Wisconsin. Each Senate scholar receives a hands-on, up-close view of the Legislature's role in our democracy.
Senate scholars gain experience in such areas as policy development, constituent relations and legislation processing by working with Senators, legislative staff and University of Wisconsin faculty.
