The Harvard Undergraduate International Relations Scholars Program (HUIRSP) is a multi-day virtual conference for high school students who are interested in pursuing a career in foreign policy. This conference aims to reach students worldwide of diverse nationalities, socioeconomic classes, and lived experiences. HUIRSP provides participants with the unparalleled opportunity to explore pressing foreign policy subjects and engage in rigorous analytical assignments. Programming includes discussions with leading academics, policymakers, government officials, and regional experts. Students will gain skills in policy writing and cross-cultural leadership, and explore how to address global challenges from all sectors of international relations. The organizer describes summer and winter versions, but its current application notice does not establish specific dates for a forthcoming intake. Students apply to HUIRSP on an individual basis.
