ARISE offers a unique opportunity for NYC high school students to engage in tuition-free, mentored research in NYU labs, culminating in a stipend upon successful completion.
The NYU Tandon ARISE program is a free 10-week summer research immersion for high school students, combining foundational training with hands-on lab experience. The program begins with four weeks of remote workshops covering safety training, college writing, research skills, and preparation for university-level lab work. Following this, students transition to six weeks of full-time, in-person research placements in active NYU labs. Participants gain approximately 150 hours of valuable lab experience, contributing to cutting-edge research across various STEM fields such as biomedical engineering, computer science, robotics, environmental science, and data science. Students develop public speaking and other soft skills, culminating in presenting their research at a final colloquium and poster symposium. The program also offers group and one-on-one college application support, opportunities for continued research collaboration, and access to an alumni network.
A typical day during the in-person lab phase involves commuting to an NYU research lab, working on a research project under the guidance of faculty or graduate mentors, and potentially participating in research workshops.
This program is ideal for highly motivated New York City high school students in 10th or 11th grade with a strong passion for STEM and a desire to gain authentic, hands-on research experience in a university lab setting.
