This portal supports the application to the Princeton University Preparatory Program (PUPP), the Princeton Summer Journalism Program (PSJP), and the Aspiring Scholars and Professionals Program (ASAP).

Aspiring Scholars and Professionals (ASAP)

ASAP is a cohort program designed to introduce undergraduates from other New Jersey colleges and universities to higher education careers in the humanities and qualitative social sciences. The program begins with a nine-week summer institute on the campus of Princeton University. During that time, students participate in professional development and research methods workshops, and are paired with a Princeton faculty or staff member for a research or professional internship.

The ASAP 2024 application is now open and is due by 11:59 PM EDT on Monday April 22, 2024.
