The application consists of five parts.  When you have gathered all the information and completed the application, give it to the person in your high school who is coordinating this program.  Your principal must send your school's applications to UW by February 13.  Because your school will do the initial screening of the applications, make sure you turn it in by the deadline date established by your high school.

The letter should include the reasons for wanting to participate AND explanation of what he or she hopes to gain from the institute.
