You can share this sign up form with your students to be notified when the next TASS application becomes available.

We do not require a letter of recommendation for students in order to apply. A letter may be requested if they are selected for an interview. Fewer than one in five applicants receive an interview, so we do not suggest that you write letters for your students unless they request them from you after having reached that stage of our application process. Students will receive specific instructions, if applicable, at the time they are notified of their interview status.

To apply to TASS you must be a current high school sophomore (or equivalent) or a current high school junior (or equivalent). There are no other requirements, and there are no exceptions. If your student is in a program that does not follow the typical U.S. high school grade system and calendar and you are unsure of their eligibility, please contact tass-queries@tellurideassociation.org. As a guideline, TASS applicants generally have at least one full year of secondary school remaining before entering University following the program.
