ELIGIBILITY To be considered for the Governor’s School in the Sciences, a student must meet the following criteria:
The student must be a New Jersey resident and be a high school junior during the 2025-2026 school year.
The student must have a very strong interest in the sciences and be committed to the acquisition of knowledge and the pursuit of opportunities in that field.
The student must commit fully to the demanding schedule of the 3-week. As the full commitment to both academic and social portions of the program is expected, the student should not engage in other activities, classes, employment, or other summer program while the program is in session.
The student must be one of the top students in his or her school.
The student should have primarily “A” grades in honors math and science classes and outstanding scores on standardized achievement tests. However, students who have demonstrated very strong scientific abilities outside the classroom can still be strong candidates for the Governor’s School even with weaker standardized test scores.
Competitive candidates often rank in the top 5% of their class and score above the 90th percentile on standardized tests. However, a student whose standardized test scores are below the 90th percentile but rank among the best in his/her school are still encouraged to apply if he or she is otherwise qualified. The Governor’s School encourages all qualified applicants regardless of sex, race, color, creed, national origin, or physical handicap.
