To apply to the next session of TRIP Initiative, complete the online application by following this link: https://forms.gle/5QDyxKfJ6XNXhG266.  (It is recommended to download and complete the essay portion of the application in a word processing program and then copy/paste your answers into the online application.  The essay questions can be downloaded by clicking on the button at the bottom of this page.)   Applicants are also asked to upload a current transcript (unofficial transcripts are acceptable) and their course schedule to the application.
​
In addition to completing the online application, applicants must have two letters of recommendation (LOR) submitted on their behalf.  These documents can be submitted directly by the letter writers by following this link: https://forms.gle/eQZ1sXx9KzyTtHGz8​​.  Note: LORs should be sent directly by the letter writers NOT by the student. If your writers have trouble submitting documents through the online form, documents may also be sent to Dr. Alyssa Leystra at tripinitiative@gmail.com before 11:59 pm on Monday, October 25th, 2021.  If letter writers need to email supplemental documents, please ask them to use the subject line: “TRIP@WTHS’22 Recommendation - APPLICANT’S NAME”.

One letter of recommendation should come from your science teacher (e.g. biology, chemistry, physics, environmental science, etc.), while the other can come from, but is not limited to, the following individuals: High school administrator (Assistant Principal, Principal, etc.), high school teacher (math, science, English, art, etc.), coach, minister or clergyman from your place of worship, and supervisor from a current/previous job, club or volunteer position. 

Letters should: 1) state the length and capacity that the recommender has known the applicant, and 2) contain an assessment of the applicant’s strengths and weakness with specific examples that support participation in the TRIP program.  Please rename the file as "Last name, first name of applicant_Your first and last name". Official letters of recommendation should be submitted by the letter writers through the online form: https://forms.gle/eQZ1sXx9KzyTtHGz8 or emailed directly to Dr. Alyssa Leystra at tripinitiative@gmail.com before 11:59 pm on Monday, October 25th, 2021.  When submitting a letter by email, please use the subject line: “TRIP@WTHS’22 Recommendation - APPLICANT’S NAME”.
  
***When requesting a letter of recommendation, be sure to give the writer this information (download a PDF-version of this information from the button above) and a minimum of three weeks to complete your letter.***

Applications will be reviewed by a panel of program staff and alumni in November 2021. Following review, qualifying applicants will interview with program staff in December 2021 with final decisions made by the end of December.

If you have questions, please ask! Direct all questions to Dr. Alyssa Leystra at tripinitiative@gmail.com. Please use TRIP@WTHS’22 in the subject line of all emails regarding the 2022 TRIP spring program.
