Placement into the Governor's STEM Academy is dependent on positive teacher recommendations, above-average grades, and a student voice written response.

January 7, 2025 is the deadline for all VBCPS students to submit their applications online and for non-VBCPS students to submit their application to the appropriate coordinator of the program(s) to which they are applying. Students that wish to apply that are not VBCPS students may email Brittany Williams to request the application be sent to them. Timelines related to the selection and appeal process are available on the VBCPS Application Process page.

During the selection process, each program will establish a waiting list of students in the event that a student who is offered a position chooses not to accept or transfers prior to the start of the school year. The waiting list will remain active only until the last business day prior to the first day of school. Students must re-apply for consideration for the next school year.
