The MITES Summer Program is a six-week, on-campus program that immerses US high school juniors in rigorous and rewarding mathematics, science, and humanities courses. Scholars will also have access to lab tours, social events, and college admissions counseling while developing the academic and personal skills essential for success. Students will engage with STEM professionals in seminars and tours of MIT labs and local companies employing MITES alumni. The program is free of charge, and students will only pay for transportation to and from MIT. At the conclusion of the program, students will receive a written evaluation from their instructors outlining their strengths, growth areas, and contributions to the class, which some use as supplemental material with their college applications.

Applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents who are high school juniors. They must have a passion for science, technology, engineering, and math, which should be demonstrated through extracurricular activities, essays, and letters of recommendation. Applicants must also have a strong academic record with good grades.
