    How to Apply

    Eligibility Requirements

    The Science and Technology Entry Program (STEP) is a state-funded pre-college enrichment program for students who:

    • Meet criteria required by New York State Education Department (listed on the eligibility section of their website)
    • Or, meet state-determined economic criteria listed on their website here
    • Are enrolled in grades 7 -12 with good academic standing with a minimum grade point average of 80 overall, and an 80 or above in math, science, and English courses
    • Are a resident of New York State

    Submitting a Complete Application

    Admission to the STEP Academy is selective and based primarily on a student’s academic record. Interested students must submit a completed program application by the stated deadline. Personal essays, report cards or transcripts, teacher evaluations, and income verification documents (for students claiming eligibility based on economic factors) are essential components of the application. We are unable to consider incomplete applications.

    Program Expectations

    Once admitted to the program students are expected to:

    • Attend and participate in all STEP activities and classes
    • Arrive at STEP sessions on time and ready to participate with applicable assignments and materials
    • Conduct themselves in a manner conducive to their own learning and to the learning of others
