2027 Application Planning

High-school STEM program deadlines.

Track confirmed 2027 deadlines and use prior-cycle timing as a planning guide when the next application date has not yet been published.

How to read estimated dates

Exact dates are shown only when the 2027 cycle is explicitly confirmed. If a program has only a 2026 or earlier deadline on record, STEM Summer Index converts it to a loose window such as “mid-January.” Prior-cycle timing is a planning aid, not a 2027 deadline. Always verify the official program page before submitting an application.
