Taking place July 7-12, 2026, the Georgia Ready Summer Institute is a cost-free, one-week, cohort-based residential program for high-achieving high school students in Georgia who are entering their senior year.

With an overarching focus on research and innovation, the Institute provides students with the opportunity to strengthen their pre-collegiate credentials through this transformative experience. Selected GRSI Scholars will begin exploring connections between their academic interests and career pathways, while examining how research and innovation drive entrepreneurship and commercialization across the state.

Additionally, attendees will get a glimpse of what life is like as a UGA scholar. Through living in a campus residence hall, eating at our award-winning dining facilities, touring the Athens campus, and external research facilities – specifically our Marine Extension campus on Skidaway Island – we are confident GRSI Scholars will leave the Institute UGA READY! For more information, please email oace@uga.edu with additional questions.

The application deadline is Sunday, May 3rd at 11:59pm – apply HERE!
