MISSION The mission of DAPCEP is to increase the number of historically underrepresented students who are motivated and prepared academically to pursue degrees leading to careers in STEM related fields through K-12 supplemental educational programming. In keeping with the DAPCEP Mission, we consider all applicants without regard to residence or legally protected status. It is understood that due to the limitations of space in each DAPCEP program, admission decisions of the Program Directors are final.
ADMISSIONS POLICY The DAPCEP admission is designed to maximize fairness and consideration of all eligible applicants. Each Program Director or selection committee seeks to have a qualified, balanced, broad base of students, each of whom must meet the eligibility requirements for the desired program. Typically, each program has more applicants than it has allotted spaces. While every consideration is given to maximize total enrollment with as many students as possible receiving their first selection, the numerical realities of the program and its funding will result in some students not getting their desired program or not even admitted to DAPCEP at all. We encourage all students who are not admitted to reapply during the next enrollment period.

Booklet Course information can be found in the course booklet which can be viewed online and is also available for pickup at the office. The course booklet contains a detailed list of courses (date, time, description and location) and the application. Each session (spring, summer, and fall) has its own course booklet and a separate application. Application The application must be signed on pages 2, 3 and 6 and stapled with a report card for students in grades 6- 8 and a transcript for students in grades 9 - 12. Blank applications CANNOT be printed from the website but can be picked up at the office. All applications must be submitted during the specified enrollment period.
Directions to Complete the Application Online 1. Go to our website www.dapcep.org and click “Apply to DAPCEP”. 2. You will need to create a login with a username and password. The password must be at least six characters with letters and numbers, no symbols. It is recommended that you use a parents’ email address that is checked regularly. The username and password will be immediately sent to this email address so that you can save this information. Then, establish a security question. 3. Next, enter the students contact information and click “Create User”. 4. Next, continue to populate all fields and click “Save” at the end of each section. 5. Next, answer the IRB survey questions. 6. Next, you will know you are at the end of the application process when you see “Assemble Application Package”. Click on “Assemble Application Package” to print the six page application. 7. If there are no errors, the application will appear in a HTML or PDF file. Then you can print out the application package using your browser print function. Be sure to sign pages 2, 3 and 6. 8. If there is another student in the household, treat them as individuals and establish a new log in and password for them. You can however, use one email address which we recommend using a parent's. Once you establish a new user name and password, this information will be emailed to the address listed during the online registration. Save this email or the user name and password information in a safe place. 9. Failure to complete registration for each student using their own user name and password, will merge student records. As a result, the DAPCEP database will have inaccurate information for the students in your household. This could lead to your children not being selected for enrollment.

DAPCEP Tuition Payment Process
As a result of financial reductions for summer programming, DAPCEP has moved to a Tuition Based Program Model. Parents are now required to pay tuition to participate in summer programs. Funds received will be used to offset expenses associated with program management, materials and student facilitation. The tuition process will have no basis on the admissions or status of an applicant. The program costs are as follows:
$150.00 per week for Summer Commuter Programs (example: 2 week program = $300.00) Or $300.00 per week for Summer Residential Programs (example: 2 week program = $600.00) After you apply and have been accepted to a specific program, parents will be required to arrange for payment of the program fees. Your acceptance letter will provide directions to make a full payment or arrange for a payment plan. You will be able to create an account with FACTS Tuition Management to pay all associated fees. Parents are responsible for the full tuition cost of the selected program. You may also pay in person at the DAPCEP Office. We will ONLY accept money orders and cashier checks. NOTE: A process is in place for discounted tuition rates for low socio-economic backgrounds after a student has been accepted. Your child(ren) may qualify for discounted tuition if your household income falls within the limits on this chart.
Total Family Size 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
If you qualify, you can complete a Grant and Scholarship application from the DAPCEP office after you have been accepted.
