Application Process
The application includes an application form, the student’s academic records (ACT or SAT scores), current transcript, two letters of recommendation, and a short one-page essay written by the applicant. The essay should discuss the applicant’s professional goals, computing abilities, community involvement, what he or she has learned about the field, what strengths and weaknesses the student possesses, and what the student’s aspirations are for a computing career. One recommendation letter must come from a teacher in the student’s program of study (high school or college). The other letter should come from someone other than the student’s immediate family. Applicants will be judged based on their financial need, academic record, letters of recommendation, and essay.
