The week-long summer program lets students learn what agents do.
"I'm really excited because I have tried the past two years and I didn't get in, but I was just really happy when I did get in this year," said Gavin Watkins. "I hope to definitely work on my leadership skills and I hope to make a couple friendships along the way."
The students who were admitted to the program will travel to the FBI headquarters in Quantico, Virginia in June.
