Application

Who can apply?

The school is open to all high school students with a strong interest in science, regardless of nationality. University students will not be accepted.

It is not necessary to have any prior research experience or participation on science competitions. The advantage is given to the students who can benefit the most from the school, since there are much more good applicants than available places. This is why it is important to explain your future goals and interests and clearly state the reasons for wanting to participate.

How to apply?

You can apply only by downloading and filling out the application form. We also need a letter of recommendation from one of your teachers. After completing the recommendation form, the teacher should return it to the student sealed in a separate envelope. Student should take the envelope and send it together (in one envelope!) with the hard copy of the application form.

The letter of recommendation should not be read by the student being recommended!

Application is considered complete only when we recieve ALL of the following:

1. Application form in the electronic format (e-mailed to martina.mijuskovic AT gmail.com)
2. Hard copy of the application form (signed by one of your parents) and a letter of recommendation from one of your teachers. Hard copy should be sent to the following address:

Selection procedure

All applications will be reviewed by the school organizers and a certain number of applicants will be selected for the interviews. Students will be notified by e-mail about the time of the interviews, which will be conducted by telephone approximately 2-3 weeks after the application deadline. Interviews are used to asses the student's proficiency of English and personal motivation. Final selection will be announced to the students at the beginning of June 2006.

Payment

The school participation fee is 130 Euro (950 KN), if payed by the student, and 260 Euro (1900 KN) if payed by the sponsor. In case you look for the sponsors to cover your expenses contact us and we will write you a support letter.

The fee includes accomodation and food, but note that it doesn't fully cover the real economic cost of participation (this difference is paid by the organiser).

Limited number of participants (from Croatia only) can be acceppted without paying the fee, considering the economic situation in the country. In the case you are not able to pay the fee or find a sponsor, you must include a separate letter in your application (electronic version is sufficient) asking for a stipend.
