To apply, you’ll just have to fill out a couple of simple online forms, which include:

• Basic student information (name, age, email address, school, etc)
• Choosing which topics/strands interest you and a few short essays that express your interest.
• Recommendations from teachers/adults – these aren’t formal letters but rather a quick online form that you send directly to their email through our portal.
