Empire Girls State College Credit
The American Legion Auxiliary, Department of New York offers an opportunity to all Citizens of Empire Girls State to earn three (3) college credits while completing their High School senior year. We are the only Department to offer this program to its Citizens. When a former Citizen attends College the following year they could have three (3) credits already logged onto their transcript. The average cost for one (1) college credit today is approximately between $300 and $500. We are offering this great opportunity for only $100 and a little bit of work. (see below) The American Legion Auxiliary Empire Girl’s State College Credit Recommendation Program is a part of the National Program on Non-collegiate Sponsored Instruction (PONSI) of the New York State Board of Regents. National PONSI evaluates courses offered by non-collegiate organizations nationwide and makes recommendations on their comparability to college level courses. These recommendations are published in a Directory, which is distributed to every college and university in the United States. College and university officials use the Directory as a guide in granting college credit to the individuals who successfully complete the described courses. As a citizen of Empire Girl’s State, you may receive recommendations for three (3) college credits under the program described above. To receive the recommendation, you must register and complete the following requirements on or before the dates listed below. Completion of a certified internship of 40 hours in government or political affairs.* The internship may be completed at any time following the Empire Girl’s State session. It is suggest that the internship be set up as soon as possible. The student must submit a description of the proposed internship to the Registrar for certification by the College Credit Recommendation Committee. Internship proposals must be submitted on or before October 1, 2010.
Completion and submission to the
registrar of the following two written assignments:
*As stated, the completion of a certified internship of 40 hours in government or political affairs is the recommended choice. The American Legion Auxiliary, Department of New York, recognizes privacy laws. We also realize that an internship in government or political affairs may not be possible because of the privacy laws. Therefore, additional options will be accepted for the internship. Some examples of internship options include but are not limited to: For those interested in the environment, the Department of Environmental Control (DEC). For those interested in working with children in need, the Department of Social Services. For those interested in working with the elderly, local nursing homes or New York State Veterans Homes or Hospitals. For those interested in law, local District Attorney or Public Defender’s offices. These are just a few samples of options. Please remember, placement should in some way enhance and build upon the Empire Girl’s State experience and does not relegate the participant to menial clerical tasks, i.e., filing, “just” answering the phone, etc. When you have the 2010 Citizens speak at your meeting this fall please ask them if they are participating in this wonderful opportunity. If not please encourage them to do so and inform them it is not too late. They must send the completed registration form, with non-refundable fee of $100 to: Juanita Lochner, Registrar, American Legion Auxiliary, Department of New York, 112 State Street – Suite 1310, Albany, New York 12207. Should you have any questions regarding an option to the internship please feel free to call one of the names listed below. College Credit Committee
