MISSED THE APPLICATION DEADLINE?
SUBMIT BY FEBRUARY 20 FOR LATE CONSIDERATION.  

This program is for Minnesota teens. Students can apply directly; a nomination is not required. Students attend the summit in teams of five with one adult chaperone. Each individual student must submit an application.

This summit takes place March 9-10, 2026 at Willmar Conference Center in Willmar, MN. A hotel block is reserved at the two on-campus hotels and each team is responsible for making their own reservation. Students are eligible for up to $125 total per person in reimbursement for mileage and hotel costs.

The registration fee is $250, paid after acceptance.

Adult chaperones attend free and complete a separate form once student teams are confirmed.
