Applications are open each winter to current high school juniors who have completed the prerequisites and will be at least 15 years old, but not yet 19, during program operation. Current freshmen, sophomores, and seniors are not eligible.
To meet the prerequisite, a course must be taken for credit and a grade, and completed by June. We do NOT require AP or advanced level classes. Self-study does not qualify. If you have not taken the required classes, you are not eligible to apply.
