Once a school official or homeschool student has been nominated – these are the required steps:

1. Eligible nominees will receive an email notification with application materials to complete.
2. Once the materials are completed, our office will begin reviewing students. Selection is based upon:
   • online application information
   • a complete school transcript or grade cards (two full years)
   • recommendation from a current teacher
   • parent authorization on the on line form
3. Applications will not be accepted without all the required information completed.
4. After the application deadline, submitted applications will be under review by our faculty for selection.
5. Students will be notified of acceptance in early March.

Late Applications

Students whose applications and materials are submitted after January 7, 2026, are considered late. Late applications will be added to our waiting list.

Availability of additional spots to offer may be determined by the end of March/beginning of April.
