About the Program

The HMMT February tournament is a mathematics competition for high school students held at MIT. It is more difficult than the HMMT November tournament, with problems ranging from mid-AIME to olympiad level. The individual rounds cover Algebra, Geometry, and Combinatorics, and the team round is proof-based. Students attending should be comfortable crafting and writing rigorous proofs.

The Season 30 registration policy and deadline table, checked November 4, 2026, confirm February 13, 2027 at MIT, the past September 20 registration/aid application cutoff and January 9/January 30 confirmation dates. Registration for both tournaments is explicitly closed; the February tournament remains upcoming. Each competitor must be under 21 and meet the season’s school-enrollment conditions.

The deadline table specifically lists November 14, 2026 for February financial-aid confirmation, but the aid page and registration policy instead say confirmation is due one week before the general deadline. These instructions disagree; no replacement date is assumed. Aid covers a registration waiver and Friday/Saturday hotel lodging, while travel is usually excluded. USD80 is the team registration charge, not a cap on total aid. No subsequent-season schedule was verified.

Eligibility

Competitors must be under 21 on the tournament date and have been enrolled in full-time primary or secondary education on or after the season registration start, August 2, 2026. Homeschooled students must be working toward a secondary credential and not have received it on that start date. February teams have 6–8 students and must meet school/geographic team rules; proof-writing experience is recommended. Competitors must be students below the age of 21. Full-time primary or secondary enrollment on or after August 2, 2026; see homeschooled-student conditions.

How to Apply

Season 30 registration for both November 2026 and February 2027 is officially closed; the registration/aid application deadline was September 20, 2026. Accepted teams and individuals confirm through their coach/student accounts; general confirmation is January 9 and waitlist confirmation January 30, 2027. The dedicated aid table gives November 14, 2026, but generic one-week-earlier guidance conflicts. Fees are paid at tournament check-in by cash or check.
