ARISE offers a unique, tuition-free opportunity for NYC high school students to engage in authentic, university-level scientific research with faculty mentorship and receive a stipend upon completion.
The NYU ARISE (Applied Research Innovations in Science and Engineering) program is a free 10-week summer research program for New York City high school students. It offers unparalleled opportunities to conduct real-world scientific research in various NYU STEM labs, under the guidance of NYU faculty and graduate researchers. Students gain valuable first-hand experience making practical, substantive contributions to lab research objectives. The program includes four weeks of remote workshops focusing on safety training, college writing, and research skills development, followed by six weeks of in-person lab work. Participants develop technical skills, build a strong foundation in STEM research principles, and enhance public speaking and leadership abilities through workshops and a concluding colloquium where they present their findings to the NYU community and academic experts. Students gain approximately 150 hours of lab experience and receive a $2000 stipend upon successful completion.
A typical day involves working in an NYU lab from 9 AM to 4 PM, contributing to a specific research project, troubleshooting problems, and developing technical skills. Some days may also include afternoon lectures or workshops on topics such as optimization, research methods, public speaking, or college readiness.
This program is best for highly motivated New York City high school students in 10th or 11th grade with strong academic records and a demonstrated passion for STEM subjects and research.
