Hey there! I know the website’s a bit tricky to navigate, but here’s a good page for explaining a lot about the selection process https://www.hesburgh-yusko.org/?page_id=129


The deadline for the HYSP is November 15th - 2 weeks after the EA deadline
The nomination process is really much less rigid than the website makes it sound. I’m a current HYSP scholar (I’m a freshman), and last year I just went to my counselor and told her about the program (she’d never heard of it before), and she filled out a recommendation form online for me (you won’t be able to submit your application until your counselor submits her recommendation). Most other people that I know of in the program did the same thing.


(Also: the program LOVES international students. Being an international student is a big advantage for getting selected for this).

I hope that info helps, and if you need any help in the future just message me!
