Application Process

Herberger Young Scholars Academy utilizes admissions deadlines for applicants applying to the next academic year, while still offering rolling admissions for applicants applying for a vacant position during the current academic year.

Applications will only be considered for the current and next academic years.

Applications for the next academic year are not accepted before September 1st.

Application Deadlines:
January 15th:  Regular Admissions Application Deadline
March 15th: Late Admissions Application Deadline

The following items are required to be submitted prior to the admissions deadline to be considered during the spring admissions reviews: 

• Completed application
• Application fee
• WISC-V testing (and summary) 
• Report cards and/or transcripts
• Standardized/State test results 
• Teacher Recommendation Forms

Any completed application received after the Late Application Deadline (March 15th) but before the September 1st threshold will be considered on a rolling basis for the current application cycle. 

Applications received on or after September 1st will be considered for the following academic year. 

Admission to the Gary K. Herberger Young Scholars Academy is a 4/5 step process

Once all required steps are completed, your student's application will be reviewed during the next admissions board meeting. Student applications will be evaluated and ranked against all candidate applications during the same admissions cycle.

The Gary K. Herberger Young Scholars Academy seeks and accepts students for admission without reference to race, color, religion, age, disability, national and ethnic origin, sexual orientation, or gender. Admissions and financial aid decisions are made independently.
