Frequently Asked Questions
-
Q: How was my child selected to attend?
A: Students selected to attend the Future SciTech Leaders Summit are identified by teachers, counselors, and school administrators for their dedication to entering scientific and technological fields, as well as for their leadership potential and academic excellence. Many are chosen because they show early promise as investigators and innovators and are strong candidates for leadership opportunities, whether in high school or college. Qualified students may also be identified through academic events, recommendations, youth organizations, honor societies, scientific institutions, STEM societies, program Alumni, or through their participation in classroom surveys. This nomination process ensures that the Summit remains one of the most respected scientific summer programs for high-achieving students and a nationally recognized conference that supports gifted students pursuing advanced STEM. -
Q: Will attending the Congress help a student gain admission to a competitive college and medical school?
A: No, simply attending the Summit alone will not open the doors to your dream school. But the Summit will enrich a Delegate's academic profile. The education, motivation, and recognition at the Summit can inspire students to take the personal actions necessary to become much stronger candidates for admission to competitive colleges. Since you are in the same room and hear and see the same things your child does, you share a rare and special bond. Attendance at the Summit can also enrich a student's academic profile by adding to their showcase of extracurricular experience and achievement needed when applying to colleges and universities. -
Q: Why are students required to provide proof of GPA, SAT scores, or ACT scores?
A: The Summit is an academic honors program. You must have a minimum GPA of 3.5 or higher, either current or cumulative, or an ACT score of 22 or higher, or an SAT score of 1300 or higher, to attend. Unless you are nominated by a teacher, you must verify your GPA. Complete information on how to verify your GPA will be provided at enrollment. If you arrive at the Summit without a verified GPA, you will still be allowed to participate, but you will not receive your Award of Excellence until you provide documentation. -
Q: When and where will the Congress be held?
A: The Future SciTech Leaders Summit will be held June 27 to 29, 2027, at the Paul E. Tsongas Center located on the campus of the University of Massachusetts Lowell, about 30 miles from Boston. On Sunday, June 27th, the Summit will begin at 6 PM and end at 9:30 PM. On Monday, June 28th, and Tuesday, June 29th, the Summit will run from 10 AM to 9:30 PM.fr
