The Bronx News Network, in collaboration with College Now, is running a free journalism program for Bronx high school students. We’ve extended our deadline to this Friday, Jan. 28, and we’re looking for a few more eager applicants.

Applications can be downloaded here. On a separate piece of paper, please also tell us about yourself, your academic and extra-curricular interests, and why you are applying to this program. Your essay should be at least 400 words long and must be typed. Fax both your essay and the completed application form to our office at (718) 324-2917.

The next semester starts on Feb. 2. Classes will be held at Hostos Community College at 450 Grand Concourse on Wednesday afternoons from 4 to 6 p.m., and run for 12 weeks.
