Our goal is to fill our programs with students who represent a variety of backgrounds and possess a broad range of strengths, interests, and goals. All our students contribute in their own unique ways to the depth and breadth of the experience.

When considering students for nomination, think about those who:

• Merit special recognition based on academic promise, aspirations, and leadership potential
• Can meet the challenges of the program’s rigorous curriculum
• Will be mature and confident contributors to group and program activities 

Click here to nominate your students today. Our 2-step process is easy and quick. First, you’ll need to create your educator profile and then you will be able to enter the necessary details about your nominees.

We are always on the lookout for quality educators to join our nominating team. At our programs, students have an opportunity to identify educators who have been a special inspiration to them and who they think would be interested in nominating students. We also ask educators who have previously nominated to recommend colleagues who would like to learn more about our programs. 

No, nominating students is completely free of charge.

You can easily submit your nominations online through the Educator Portal. You will just need to create your Educator profile. If you need program brochures or additional information emailed to you, please contact our team.

No problem! Please contact our support team with your full name and email address, and we will be happy to look up your ID for you.

We recommend using the older ID, as it likely contains your historical data. Please reach out to us so we can deactivate the duplicate account and ensure you only receive correspondence to a single profile.

Absolutely! You can continue to submit nominations for our Summer 2027 programs until May. Any nominations submitted after May will automatically be considered for the Summer 2028 programs.

To view the available programs, you must first select the student's current grade from the dropdown menu. Once the grade is selected, the corresponding program options will appear. If you continue to experience website issues, try using a different web browser, or submit your nominations via mail or fax.

Your nominees’ information is stored securely and is never shared. For more than 30 years, we have recognized students across the nation, and we maintain a strict, comprehensive privacy policy.

Students leave Envision programs with a clearer sense of purpose and direction. They build leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills—qualities that colleges and employers value. Many also earn college credit or receive a Certificate of Completion to enhance their resumes.

It typically takes 4 to 6 weeks for students to receive their invitations by mail. (Note: If you submitted your nominations via fax, the processing time is approximately 6 to 8 weeks).

Delivery times can vary. If several weeks have passed and a student still hasn't received their physical invitation, we can send them a digital invitation. We just need the student's (or parent's) email address to proceed.

It can take up to 48 hours for new nominations to process and become visible in your portal.

Please contact our support team, and we will promptly update the student's record in our system.

Yes, we offer partial scholarships ranging from $250 to $750, which can cover up to 30% of the total tuition cost. Please note that scholarships do not cover the initial $499 enrollment deposit.

Students can apply through our online application portal. Scholarships are awarded based on a combination of financial need, academic performance, and extracurricular involvement. The application requires details about the family’s financial situation, the student's activities, and a 300 to 500-word essay.

The assignment depends on the specific program. For example, a STEM program essay might ask: "Describe a career in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Math that you would like to learn more about. What excites you about this career, and what do you think it takes to be successful in it?"

There are multiple deadlines throughout the year! For our Summer 2026 programs, there is generally a scholarship deadline every month (usually falling on the second-to-last or last Wednesday of the month). If a student misses one deadline, they might be able to apply for the next one.

Yes. We offer an Alumni Grant (10% off tuition) for returning students, and a Sibling Discount ($200 off residential programs; $100 off day programs).

All of our programs are tuition-based. The exact price varies depending on the specific program, the location, and whether it is a residential or day program. However, we offer scholarships and provide fundraising resources to help families manage the cost. (Note: The tuition cost does include the initial deposit fee).

Being part of our summer program staff is a highly valuable experience! Meals are provided during your shifts, and staff members are assigned to locations convenient to them. Interested teachers must complete a series of evaluations to ensure alignment with our program standards. To express interest and begin the process, please contact our team with your full name, email address, and phone number.

We do not currently have a formal reward system in place, though we are actively exploring ways to acknowledge and support educators in the near future. We truly value and appreciate educators like you who help connect students with these life-changing learning opportunities!

At this time, teachers cannot attend the programs alongside their specific students as chaperones. However, educators are welcome to join us by applying to be Summer Staff!
