I am writing to inform you about Columbia University's Science Honors Program (SHP) and its application process for the 2019-2020 academic year. This program, now in its sixty-first year, offers enrichment courses in science and mathematics on Saturday mornings throughout the
school year to 700 students who have been selected from approximately 750 high schools in the metropolitan New York area. Next year's SHP will have openings for 400 new students. Applicants must now be in the 11th, 10th, or 9th grade and should have a strong interest and exceptional
ability in science and mathematics. I would very much appreciate your informing appropriate students about the program. The attached announcement can be posted, and copies can be distributed to all science and mathematics teachers in your school.
The program uses an online application process which students can access
on the Columbia University SHP web page:
Each applicant will be asked to do the following:
(1) Submit an online application.
(2) Request that the high school mail an official transcript directly to the SHP.
(3) Request that a teacher, guidance counselor, or principal submit an online recommendation letter.
(4) Take a three-hour entrance examination at Columbia on April 6 or April 27, 2019.
The deadline for the SHP receipt of student online applications is February 28, 2019.
Mailed official transcripts and online letters of recommendation must be
received by the SHP no later than March 15, 2019. Admission decisions
will be announced by June 19, 2019.
