1- Online Application

2- You will submit two essays within the online application in response to the following prompts:
Essay 1: (in 175-225 words) Explain why you want to participate in Johns Hopkins Engineering Innovation Pre-College Programs and what you hope to gain from the experience.
Essay 2: (in 100-125 words) The diversity of its student population is a key element of the educational experience of students in Johns Hopkins Engineering Innovation Pre-College Programs. Please explain how your participation in the Program and/or how your prior experiences reflect a commitment to diversity through one or more of the following: unique life experience, experience with engineering or lack thereof, socioeconomic status, race or ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, status as a first-generation college student, nationality, or place of origin, etc.

3- Provide teacher recommendation:
First, ask a high school or college math, science, engineering, robotics, or computer science teacher if they are willing to write a recommendation for you. Second, you will provide their name and email address through our online application. After you complete the recommendation section and confirm their contact information, your teacher will automatically receive an email from us detailing how to submit the recommendation on your behalf.

Instead of completing the online form, the teacher may write a letter of recommendation that includes information about the student’s aptitude in science and/or math; motivation and maturity; ability to tackle new material independently; ability to collaborate with a team; and one area in which the student could use improvement. The letter should be emailed to [email protected].

4- Need-based scholarship applicants:
For those applying for need-based financial assistance, you will complete the Financial Aid Application tab embedded as an option within the online application.

5- Submit Application Fee:
A non-refundable application fee of $50 paid online when you submit your application using a credit card or checking account information. The application does not have to be completed in one sitting; this fee is collected when you submit.

6- Submit Transcript / Report Card:
Give this transcript request form to your guidance counselor or other school personnel. Ask them to send us your high school transcript, as well as interim grades for the classes that you are currently taking.
We do accept transcripts from parents for homeschool students.

7- Health Insurance: All in-person students at commuter and residential locations must have health insurance.

8- Provide proof of English language proficiency/test scores for International Students
Engineering Innovation requires students taking our courses to have adequate English language proficiency. Applicants whose native language is not English and who have not been enrolled in a school where English is the primary language of instruction for at least three years must submit proof of their proficiency in English before they can be offered admission to an Engineering Innovation course.
