When is the Application Deadline?

There are two 2024 Application Deadlines.

First-round decisions
If you are applying for a need-based scholarship, you must apply by this deadline.
Summer decisions are rolling beginning mid-March.
Academic Year applicants will be notified within 30 days of app deadline.
Academic Year program locations are determined based on enrollment by this date.
- (For example: If a program is offering an online and in-person option and one has significantly more completed applications by this deadline, the other location may be canceled due to low enrollment.)

Your program could fill before this deadline.
Schools close for the summer so your application may not get completed or will have to wait if your teacher is not checking their email regularly.
Many schools request GATE acceptance before the end of the school year so they can plan for the following year. You will have to work with your school to fit your GATE program into your schedule when school resumes after summer break.
Remaining financial aid funds may be reduced or depleted.
Your decision may be delayed.
