California STEM Academy Innovation Scholars Summer Mentorship (ISSM) 2026 Summer Application

California STEM Academy is excited to introduce a fully-funded two-week online summer program designed exclusively for visionary students eager to launch their own STEM-related research, app, or passion project. We seek to bring together top-tier mentors and resources to guide participants in transforming their ideas into reality.

Throughout the program, students will participate in two live meetings per week with mentors, providing interactive, real-time guidance. In between these sessions, asynchronous support will be available to help you complete your project.

Please remember that we will not do any of the work for you. Rather, we will offer mentorship, resources, suggestions, and guidance for improvement and future directions.

To apply, please fill out the form below. We look forward to reading your responses!

Any use of Artificial Intelligence to write essays will lead to an automatic rejection. Applications close June 5th and results will be announced by mid June. If you are accepted to the program, we will determine dates based on your availability. If you are not available at any time, your position may be given to a waitlisted student.
