Summit Education seeks ambitious students entering grades 9 through 12 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.
Students may choose to apply to the Summit STEM Fellowship (SSF), the Summit Research Scholars (SRS) program, or both. All applicants will first complete a core application, followed by additional questions specific to each program.
Application Deadlines for Summer 2026 Programs:
• Early: February 28, 2026
• Regular: April 15, 2026
Admissions are rolling, meaning applications are reviewed in the order they are received. There are a limited number of spots, and students are encouraged to apply as soon as they are able. For more information about admissions, please visit the Admissions page of the fellowship website.
Note: Your application progress will automatically be saved in your browser, allowing you to return and continue where you left off. We also recommend keeping a separate copy of your responses as a backup, so you can easily copy and paste them when you are ready to submit.
