Scholarship Assistance

Partial scholarships are available to students in the High School Summer Scholars Program or the High School Summer Institutes who demonstrate financial need. In order to be considered for a scholarship, you must include a completed Application for Scholarship Assistance with your program application. We also require a copy of your parents' 2012 IRS tax return. You may wish to talk with your school counselor or others in your community concerning additional sources of potential financial assistance.

Admission and Payment

Space is limited for some of these programs, so we encourage you to apply early. If you mail your application by the Early Bird Deadline of February 15 we will waive the $35 application fee.

We will notify you of our decision three weeks from receipt of the complete application, beginning December 15. A non-refundable deposit of $500 is then required if you accept our admission offer, with the remainder of the program fee due three weeks prior to the program start date (see Calendar). Admission to one of these programs does not imply or guarantee admission to Washington University.
