Math & Science Institute

This 8-day institute is designed to prepare entering STEM majors for college-level calculus, chemistry, and physics courses before their first year of undergrad!

Applications for Summer 2024 are Now Closed!

Students should be updated on the status of their application by April 15th.

What will students do?

Students will learn introductory chemistry, calculus, and physics (NEW this summer!) lessons from current PhD students at the College of Natural Sciences at UT. Throughout the week they will also have multiple opportunities to learn professional development skills, hear from current undergrads about the transition to college, and get connected with helpful on-campus resources! Students who complete the program will also receive a stipend of up to $500.

Who can apply?

Applicants should be recent GeoFORCE alumni who completed the 12th grade academy in Summer 2023 and will be entering their first year of college in the fall. Students who had an excused absence for Summer 2023 and did not attend the 12th grade program are also welcome to apply. This is the perfect program for students who will be majoring in a STEM field in fall 2024.

Where will students stay?

Participants will stay on campus, at the dorms at the University of Texas at Austin for the entire week. There they’ll get the chance to explore unique restaurants and local gems alongside GeoFORCE coordinators and PLA’s (Peer-Learning Assistants) currently living and/or studying in Austin.

When is the program happening this summer?

For Summer 2024, the Math & Science Institute is from Saturday, July 27th to Saturday, August 3rd! Applications have now closed, and student should expect to hear back on their application status by April 15th. 12th Grade Academy students for Summer 2024 should expect applications to open in early spring 2025.
