Founded in 1940, American International College's Model Congress is the oldest program of its type in the nation. The college welcomes hundreds of high school students from approximately 20 high schools in Northeastern part of the United States. High school students propose and submit legislation, which is then debated at the college in a simulated U.S. Congress and Senate, run by American International College students. Several scholarships are awarded each year to the most outstanding delegates of the Congress. The Congress runs three days and is intended to provide a practical educational experience while challenging students to take part in the American system of government.
