SPARK: How to Apply

A complete application consists of five items:

1) SPARK Application Form (PDF)
2) Teacher's Recommendation Form (PDF)
3) An official transcript, grade 6 to the present
4) The application fee. International students: Because of the difficulty and expense of forwarding money internationally, we will waive the application fee until after an admission review.
5) A one-page double-spaced essay on why you want to attend the SPARK program. Be sure to include your name and address on the top right hand corner.

Application Process and Fees

Applications will be evaluated as they arrive, so interested students are encouraged to apply early.  

Financial Aid

The deadline to apply for the Dean’s Scholarship has passed.

Each year, limited financial aid is available on a first-come, first-served basis, to high school students who have demonstrated financial need. Applicants must be citizens or permanent residents of the United States and have submitted a complete application by the deadline.

Our scholarship fund is limited. As a result, we cannot guarantee that all students who apply before the deadline will receive aid. Awards are made until the funds are depleted. We encourage students to apply as early as possible.

Forms and fees may be mailed or faxed to:
