AI & Health Summer High School Bootcamp

All Early Actions applicants should have received an email about their application status. If you applied Early Action and have not been updated, please email us at jclinic-info@mit.edu.

For all other applications, we will send out acceptances starting the week of May 5, 2025.

This program is only for one week and students who have participated in the past are not eligible to participate again.

During the week the program will run from Mon – Fri and we anticipate that the total number of hours per day including class and enrichment activities will be at least 7 hours per day. This program is in-person on MIT campus!

The program will primarily be on MIT campus, with occasional trips neighboring organizations.

The Jameel Clinic AI & Health Summer Bootcamp is $2000 with scholarships available to students. In previous years, we did not charge for participation, but due to the growing number of applicants and our commitment to continually improving the program experience, we have introduced a fee that ensures that students can receive the support they need to thrive in this program.

Students should be prepared to bring their personal laptops, but we are happy to provide loaner laptops to students.

If you have requested financial aid on your application, please wait until you receive our financial aid decision, as application fees are non-refundable once paid.

Eligibility Criteria for Financial Aid: To qualify, you must meet one of the following criteria, along with providing the corresponding proof in one of two ways:

1. Option A: Enrollment in a Federal, State, or Local Program Supporting Low-Income Families
   • Proof required: Official documentation on letterhead from the program confirming the student’s enrollment.
2. Option B: Demonstration of Financial Need
   • Proof required: A letter from a high school principal, high school counselor, financial aid officer, or community leader explaining the student’s financial need. The letter must be on official letterhead and include the name, role, email, and phone number of the person providing the recommendation. Alternatively, the applicant may write a short essay explaining their financial need or extenuating circumstances. Please note, we may schedule a follow-up discussion and request additional documentation to verify the details provided.

All applications are subject to verification. Please note that applying for financial aid will not impact your admission to the bootcamp.

As this program is only for one week, we do not sponsor visas or any travel arrangements.

The Jameel Clinic AI & Health Summer Bootcamp is not a residential program so we rely on parents to provide housing and transportation to and from the program. Ideally students will be coming from the Boston area, so housing should not be an issue.

Applicants should be incoming sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Students will be selected based on their interests and academic background. Students who are not admitted are encouraged to re-apply next year if not selected for this year’s cohort.

All applicants who meet the eligibility requirements will be considered, regardless of gender, race, or ethnicity.

Students are required to attend class. Absence or inactivity without a signed letter of absence related to illness, family emergency, or an appointment within your course may result in a dismissal from the program. Students dismissed for reasons of absence or inactivity will not receive a certificate by the end of the course.
