NYU ARISE offers a unique, tuition-free opportunity for NYC high school students to conduct real-world, cutting-edge scientific research in university labs, complete with a stipend upon successful completion.
NYU ARISE (Applied Research Innovations in Science and Engineering) is a free 10-week summer research apprenticeship for New York City high school students. The program combines four weeks of remote evening workshops with six weeks of full-time, in-person lab work at various NYU STEM labs. Students gain approximately 150 hours of valuable lab experience, working under the guidance of NYU faculty, graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and other mentors. Participants contribute to cutting-edge research projects in fields such as biomedical engineering, robotics, AI, computer science, and urban systems. Beyond hands-on research, students develop crucial skills in scientific writing, public speaking, data analysis, and college readiness through dedicated workshops. The program culminates in a final colloquium and poster symposium where students present their research findings to the NYU community and other academic experts.
A typical day involves a mix of commuting, hands-on lab work, mentor guidance, and research workshops. Students may analyze data, write code, assist with experiments, review scientific literature, build prototypes, or troubleshoot technical problems, depending on their assigned lab.
This program is ideal for highly motivated New York City high school students in 10th or 11th grade with a strong academic record and demonstrated passion for STEM, particularly those interested in an intensive, authentic research experience.
