US Naval Academy Summer STEM Program

Applications are now being accepted through April 15 for the United States Naval Academy Summer STEM Program. The Summer STEM Program is an overnight academic program designed for rising eighth-through 11th-grade students in good academic standing who have an interest in math and science. The program gives students the opportunity to experience real-life application of math and science principles through hands-on practical learning. The academy's current students, midshipmen, help run the Summer STEM Program and act as mentors to students.

The Summer STEM Program is held in three sessions: June 2-7 for rising eighth- and ninth-graders; June 9-14 for rising 10th-graders and June 16-20 for rising 11th-graders.

All students selected to participate pay approximately $350 for the summer program and are responsible for providing their own transportation to and from the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md.

Applicants will be notified of their application status by May 1.
