The UW Academy Application Process Now Underway
Breath a hearty sigh of relief, for the wait is finally over! Applications for the UW Academy are now open!
The University of Washington’s Academy for Young Scholars is a competitive early entrance program for highly capable and motivated high school students. A select cohort of approximately 35 students is admitted to the Academy each year, becoming a part of the Robinson Center’s vibrant early entrance community. Students apply to the Academy during the 10th grade, and if accepted, withdraw from high school at the end of the school year and enroll as full time UW freshmen in Fall.
Those interested in applying should visit the UW Academy Program page on our website and download the Application Guide which can be found under the "How to Apply" tab.
