Frequently Asked Questions
How many extracurricular programs are in the directory?
The directory contains the current published catalog for middle and high school students — summer programs, internships, competitions, research programs, scholarships, and volunteer roles. Open any listing for its cost, eligibility, deadline, location, format, dates, and official application links.
How do I filter programs by category, cost, or deadline?
Use Free, Virtual, grade, topic, and deadline filters. A program only shows up when we have that detail — if cost or deadline is missing, it will not match those filters.
Are the deadlines on this site up to date?
The directory shows a listing's deadline when one is stored for it. Program schedules can change, and estimates stay labeled as estimates, so always recheck the current program page before acting.
Is ExtracurricularHub free to use?
Yes. Browsing, filtering, saving programs, and every planning tool on the site are free for students. Programs never pay to be listed, and rankings are never sponsored.
