Program Details

Dates of the Program

PROMYS 2010 will run from June 27 - August 7. Admission is on a "rolling" basis. We will continue to accept applications until May 30. We encourage you to send in your applications as soon as possible.

The cost for 2010 participants will be $2,700 for instruction and room and board. 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.

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.

Last year, PROMYS and the Clay Mathematics Institute offered the following advanced seminars for returning students: Geometry and Symmetry, Topics in Linear Algebra, and Combinatorics. This year's offerings will be available shortly. Counselors and returning students will also organize their own seminars.

Applications for PROMYS 2010 are available to download now. Alternatively, you can contact the PROMYS office and have an application sent by mail. High school students in grades 9 through 12, who will be 14 years old by June 27, may apply.

Most admission decisions will be made between April 1 and May 30, 2010.
