1. How do I get information about the programs?
Information about the programs is regularly sent to our mailing list. General information is also available from browsing this Web site!
ESP is constantly working to make its programs as cheap as possible. We are a non-profit organization; teachers are all volunteers. Splash costs $40 per student for the whole weekend and full financial aid is available. For financial aid, just contact us.
The Stanford Educational Studies Program is currently recruiting Student Representatives from bay area middle and high schools. As a Student Rep, you would have input on the future of ESP and Splash. You will also be a vital part of Stanford ESP by helping us promote our programs at your schools and recruit more students.
If you are interested in participating in our Student Rep program, please send me an email (frankw2@stanford.edu) answering these questions:

Were you previously a student rep?
Were you a Spring Splash participant?
If yes, what did you like and dislike about Splash?
4. Can Splash come to my school?
At the moment, no.
5. How can I join the mailing list?
See our page on joining the mailing list.
6. Can students younger than high school age participate? Yes, Students in 7th and 8th grade may participate in some classes, depending on teacher preferences. If you are in doubt about your situation, contact us [14]. For home schooled students, ages 11-18 may attend Splash.
To participate, all students must have their parents sign a liability waiver. Parents should keep in mind the nature of our program, and should keep in mind that we expect a high level of maturity from our students. Students are unsupervised between classes and during time off and are free to wander the Stanford campus. Parents should be comfortable that their children are mature enough for this level of freedom.
7. If I attend an ESP program at Stanford, will I definitely get into Stanford?
The short answer: No.
The long answer: You might. Then again, you might not. Remember, just being in our on-campus programs at Stanford does not automatically get you a spot as an Stanford freshman.
Take our advice: Do anything now that shows your interest in humanities, science or math and that you can put onto the Stanford application. You do not have to actually be here at Stanford as a high school student to get into Stanford as a college student. In addition, don’t participate in a club or activity simply for the purpose of putting it on your college application, participate in them because they’re exciting to you (not your parents, teachers, siblings, etc). Ideally, the college that’s right for you will want you to have participated in those activities that you yourself found interesting.
No.
