About the Program

Stanford University Mathematics Camp (SUMaC) offers advanced mathematics through lectures, guided research and collaborative problem solving. The published 2026 program offered three separate attendance options: online June 15–July 3, online July 6–24, or residential June 21–July 17. Students attended one session; the online sessions are not a continuous six-week program. Residential dates include move-in and move-out.

The official site says 2026 applications are closed. The application cutoff was February 2, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time; aid applications were due February 9 and supporting documents February 16. The 2027 schedule and application terms are not announced.

Published 2026 tuition was USD 3,750 online and USD 8,950 residential. Need-based partial and full tuition awards were available domestically and internationally. Airfare and personal expenses were excluded, and online materials could cost extra. The USD 65 application fee and USD 60 aid-application fee had waiver options. These are historical fee and aid terms.

The 2026 admissions page requires grades 10–11, age 15 or above and full attendance, with residential participants younger than 18. It describes the online upper-age rule differently in its overview and application steps; no new-cycle upper-age limit is assumed.

Eligibility

Published 2026 eligibility required grades 10–11 at application, at least age 15 during the program, mathematical proof experience and full attendance. Residential participants had to remain younger than 18. The admissions page gives differing online upper-age wording, so a single online maximum is not confirmed here. These are historical rules, not a 2027 eligibility announcement.
