Apply to Dive In Commonwealth

A small number of sixth- and seventh-grade students are accepted into Dive In Commonwealth each year. We are looking for middle-school students from low-income families who love to learn, want to stretch themselves, and are eager to pursue their academic dreams—and we are happy to guide families through our application process. 

The 2024 application deadline has been EXTENDED to April 15, 2024. This year's summer program will run from July 8 to August 16, 2024.
