Admitted Students

Applicants for the Fall 2026 entering cohort (who applied in December 2025) will be notified of their status (Selected, Alternate, or Not Selected) by March 1, 2026.

The initial 50 Selected applicants will have until 4:00 PM on Friday, April 10, 2026 to either accept or decline the President's Honors Scholarship. To aid the 50 Selected applicants in making an informed decision, they—along with their parents/guardians—will be invited to attend Smittcamp Shadow Day in mid-March, where they will have the opportunity to shadow a current Scholar and ask questions about the program.

After the April 10th deadline, applicants from our Alternate list (waitlist) will be contacted until the 50 person cohort is full. We do not disclose where Alternates rank on the waitlist under any circumstances.
