Application
The 2026 CyberSpark application has two components.
1. Participant Application
- Personal Information
- Academic achievements and extracurriculars
- STEM classes
- Essay (not to exceed 120 words)
***Please Note: You will not receive a confirmation email upon submission of your application.
2. Teacher Recommendation
The reference must be a math, science, or technology teacher. Your teacher will be emailed directly with a link to complete the online recommendation. You will need his/her email address.
***Please Note: After a student submits their application, teacher recommendation requests are sent manually, so teachers may not receive the link right away. While we encourage recommendations to be submitted by the application deadline, students won't be penalized if they arrive late. Our team will reach out to the student, parent, and teacher to make sure every recommendation is received.
DEADLINE TO COMPLETE ALL COMPONENTS is 11:55 pm Tuesday, March 24, 2026. Decisions will be emailed by Friday, April 17, 2026.
