Application Process

  • Phase 1 (Dates: January 18, 2024 - February 23, 2024)​

    Any eligible student who meets the qualifications for the program to which they are applying will be entered in a lottery if there are more applicants than available seats. For Phase 1 only - the date that the application is submitted does not influence their chances as long as it is within the Phase 1 window. Note: All qualified applications submitted during Phase 1 will be entered in the lottery; please note that ranking schools by choice is important. 

     

    Phase 2 (March 26, 2024)

    After all applications in Phase 1 have been processed, eligible students who meet the qualifications for the program to which they are applying will be considered in the order in which their application was submitted.

    Note: All qualified applications submitted during Phase 2 will only be offered seats based upon availability in order of application submission. After Phase 2 ends, selection moves to Phase 3 which no longer allows for current HISD students to apply for remaining seats - there is a hard deadline for HISD students.
