If you are a New Jersey resident, currently in your junior year of high school, and love engineering/computers/math/science, you should consider applying to the Governor's School of Engineering and Technology. Please look through the description of the academic program and research projects on this site before you apply and see if the program sounds like something you'd love to do. If so, we hope you'll consider applying!

     Applications for our Summer 2010 Governor's School programs are available HERE. Our application is this document. If you prefer to type your application, please instead use this editable pdf file. Note that your application must be submitted to Rutgers postmarked by January 15th, 2010.

     The Governor's School of Engineering and Technology is offered free of charge for participants. The cost of the program is covered by generous donations from sponsors each summer. This summer, we will run from June 27th – July 23rd, 2010.

     All applicants must be nominated by their high schools. (High schools can nominate one applicant for every 325 members of their junior class. i.e. a school with 100 juniors may nominate 1 student; a school with 400 juniors may nominate 2 students; a school with 645 juniors may also nominate only 2 students).

     Admission to the program is very competitive. Following a competitive process at each high school in which dozens of students may express interest in attending the program, we generally receive between 300 and 400 applications from these nominees. Of the nominees, who are the best and brightest students at their respective schools, fewer than 25% generally receive offers of admission. For our 2009 program, 20% of applicants were admitted.
