Application Process

July 15 - July 21, 2007


The camp application form is available for download below in both Microsoft Word and Adobe Acrobat format.

The application consists of two parts. The student fills out a personal information section which includes a short essay. A reference section is given to a High School Staff Member (teacher, guidance counselor, or principal) who fills out an evaluation on the student. Both sections should be mailed to the UNL address below:


Astronomy Summer Camp
c/o Sharon Penry
251 Avery Hall
University of Nebraska
Lincoln, NE 68588-0131

Please submit your application by April 20, 2007 if possible. Although applications will be accepted until June 1, 2007, we will begin offering spots to students in the camp on April 20. Students will be informed by US mail whether their application has been accepted. Accepted students will then have until June 1, 2007 to submit their camp enrollment fee. This fee is $85 for in-state students and $125 for out-of-state. Once the enrollment fee has been received by UNL, a spot in the camp will be reserved for the student. If the enrollment fee is not received by June 1, this spot will be offered to another applicant. A maximum of 21 campers will be accepted.
