Please check for additional requirements and supplemental information in the descriptions of the Institutes.
Can I apply to more than one Institute?
Applicants may apply and participate in more than one Institute; however, acceptance to one Institute does not guarantee participation in another. You will need to submit a personal statement specific to each Institute to which you are applying.
How do I create a username and password for the online application?
When you first click on the application link, a “Load Saved Data” window will pop up. For new submissions, click on the “click here” link to begin your application. At the top of the page, type in a username and password. Please retain this information as you will be prompted to provide a username and password if you choose to “Save and Finish Later.”
Can I save and finish my application at a later time?
If you would like to save your current submission and return to your application later, you may do so by clicking on the “Save and Finish Later” option at the bottom of the page; however, any uploaded documents will not be saved.
If you choose to save and finish later, you will be prompted to enter a username and password you can use to return and complete the application. We advise that you input the same username and password you provided at your initial login.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you select a different username and password than what you provided in your initial login, the username and password you choose to input at the “Save and Finish Later” prompt will override the first. In this case, when you return to your application, you will need to remember your “Save and Finish Later” username and password in order for you to access your application.

Varies, typically 2-3 full days.
Will it cost anything?
The Institutes will cover the following:
Round trip economy airfare and roundtrip ground transportation to/from the airport and hotel. Hotel accommodations, including breakfast and lunch. Additionally some Institutes will include a group dinner.
Participants should expect to pay for expenses not directly related to the Institutes.
What happens if I am admitted to more than one Institute but they are held in different cities, e.g. in Santa Fe and Los Angeles?
The Institutes are being held on different dates so that admitted applicants will be able to participate in more than one. We will cover the expenses to travel among the three sites: Santa Fe, NM, Boulder, CO, and Los Angeles, CA.
Do I need to make hotel reservations?
We will make your reservations based on your flight itinerary and registration for the Institute(s).
Will I need to leave a deposit when I check in or pay anything when I check out?
The Institutes will cover all of your hotel expenses except for incidentals (e.g., long distance calls, laundry service). You will need a major credit card when you check in to cover these incidentals.
