Engineering Innovation program at Johns Hopkins University! Apply today!

Through the Engineering Innovation program at Johns Hopkins University, high school students will have an opportunity to put engineering concepts to the test. Students will apply their knowledge of math and science to labs and hands-on projects as concepts they’ve learned in their high school classrooms are suddenly linked to real-world practice. Students will also see their confidence grow as they attend college-level lectures, tackle problems, test theories and ultimately learn to think like engineers.

In order to participate in Engineering Innovation program, students must: 
  • Have completed their sophomore, junior, or senior year of high school. 
  • Successfully complete a laboratory science (Physics, Chemistry, or Biology) and advanced math (Algebra II and Trigonometry).
  • Have working knowledge of a spreadsheet application such as Microsoft Excel.
  • Complete the application form.
  • Write a 300 word essay that explains why you want to participate in the Engineering Innovation course and what you hope to gain from the experience.
  • Submit a $55 non-refundable application fee made payable to “JHU.”
  • Submit official high school transcripts, including their grades through December 2010.
  • Submit your most recent standardized test scores (PSAT, SAT, ACT, PLAN, TOEFL). 
  • Submit a letter of recommendation from a math or science teacher.
  • Submit a completed Financial Aid form with supporting documents.
While the application deadline was May 9, applications and financial aid forms are being accepted on a rolling basis. Interested students should apply ASAP!
