Program Details

Dates of the Program

PROMYS 2013 will run from June 30 to August 10. Admission is on a "rolling" basis. We will continue to accept applications through May 1. We encourage you to send in your applications as soon as possible.

Costs and Financial Aid

PROMYS asks families to contribute $3,300 toward the educational and living costs of participation (the full sponsor-supported cost per student is around $6,500). Books may cost an additional $100. Need-based financial aid is available. PROMYS is dedicated to the principle that no student will be unable to attend because of financial need.

Eligibility

PROMYS is a nationwide program. Students throughout the United States participate as well as many international students. Admissions decisions will be based on the following criteria: applicants' solutions to a set of challenging problems included with the application packet; teacher recommendations; high school transcripts; and student essays explaining their interest in the program.

Advanced Seminars

Each year PROMYS and the Clay Mathematics Institute offer advanced seminars for returning students. The CMI Seminars link on the left will take you to the latest information about these seminars. Counselors and returning students will also organize their own seminars.

Requests for Applications

Applications for PROMYS 2013 will be available for download here. Alternatively, you can contact the PROMYS office and have an application sent by mail. Pre-college students who will be at least 14 years old by the move-in date may apply.
