2024 FAST ApplicationLoading... Thank you for your interest in the 17th Annual Future Achievers in Science and Technology program! The Future Achievers in Science and Technology (FAST) is our all-expenses-paid (in other words, free for you!) overnight fly-in program for high-achieving, college-bound high school seniors who demonstrate strong potential to leave a meaningful impact within the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). During the program, you will have an opportunity to interact with current Harvey Mudd students, professors, and other high school seniors to envision a collaborative, interdisciplinary future in STEM. There will be a strong emphasis on the experiences of communities that are historically excluded from STEM, including, but not limited to, women, Black, Indigenous, or Latinx, students from low-income backgrounds, rural backgrounds, students with disabilities, and students who are first-generation to college. The program is open to U.S. Citizens and permanent residents who live in the United States and its territories. Interested high school seniors (or equivalent) intending to enter college in Fall 2025 are welcome to apply.
