No, and your eligibility is not negatively impacted if you cannot accept the invitation to sign-up. Sometimes, Scholars must miss a year in the middle of their DECATS eligibility window because of other summer activities, or a new nominee is not able to start in the first year of eligibility due to other commitments. Once you are nominated, you are always eligible until you naturally age-out of the program. You do not need to be re-nominated by your school.

Prescribed or over-the counter medication (which includes but is not limited to inhalers, ointments, cough syrup, ibuprofen, acetaminophen, topical lotions or sunscreens, eye drops, etc.) may be administered to Scholars only upon written request by the physician and parent / guardian. All medications must be accompanied by the Medication Permission Form, which further outlines the consents and procedures required to administer medications. A copy of the signed permission form previously submitted to your regular school is also acceptable documentation.

DECATS will be fully in-person only, with no virtual or online component. Because the program is only three weeks, it is most likely that a participant who tests positive for COVID-19 will need to withdraw. Please see the “Tuition & Payments” section for concerns related to refunds in the event of non-elective withdrawal from the program.

Yes, to the fullest legally-permissible extent.

At this time, we are only extending invitations to those who were registered in a guaranteed space in the 2020 program due to the lower enrollment capacity we are following for 2021. If spaces are still available after those who had a space in 2020 have had an opportunity to register for 2021 (highly unlikely), we will contact those who were on the waitlist in 2020. We kindly request no inquiries as to whether space is available: we will contact you if this becomes possible.

Normally we are able to accommodate requests to transfer between other programs offered in the city or state. Due to our extremely limited enrollment capacity for 2021, we are not able to make that happen this year, even for a place on the waitlist.

Should this happen, we will assess the pertinent decisions to make at that point in time. Any decision regarding admission and eligibility for 2022 would be made at a later date. Please see the “Tuition & Payments” section for information about refunds in the event of program cancellation.

Yes – both of these processes will be fully done via a carpool line system. Parents, guardians, relatives and other authorized pick-up adults will not be able to enter the campus for drop-off or pick-up. Each campus will have appropriate instructions to follow for late drop-off and early pick-up. These will be provided before the start of the program.
