The EPGY Summer Institutes are two-to-four-week residential programs for academically talented and motivated middle and high-school students ages 11 to 17. The Summer Institutes provide an opportunity for these students to pursue their intellectual curiosity and meet others who share their interests and abilities. Participants are enrolled in a single intensive-study course, taught by a Stanford instructor, and covering topics not typically presented at their grade level. Summer Institutes subject areas include mathematics, science, writing, humanities, computer science, engineering, business and legal studies. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis.
