Admissions

Summit Education seeks ambitious students in grades 8–12 (entering grades 9 through first-year of college in Fall 2026). The admissions committee aims to identify self-motivated students with strong potential in STEM who are driven to make a meaningful impact on the world. Younger students are especially encouraged to apply, as we’ve found the program has the greatest impact on students who have more time to apply what they learn to their high school careers.


Students may choose to apply to the Summit STEM Fellowship (SSF), Summit Research Scholars (SRS), or both. Applications are reviewed separately for each program, and admissions decisions are made independently. All applicants complete a shared core application required for every program, along with program-specific questions tailored to the program(s) they select.


The application consists of the following sections:

There are a limited number of spots, and students are encouraged to apply as early as possible.
