NYU ARISE offers a unique, tuition-free opportunity for NYC high school students to engage in authentic, university-level research in cutting-edge STEM fields, complete with a stipend upon successful completion.
NYU ARISE is a free 10-week summer research program for New York City high school students, offering an immersive experience in university-level STEM research. The program begins with four weeks of remote evening workshops covering essential skills such as safety training, college writing, research methodologies, scientific ethics, and public speaking. Following this foundational training, students transition to six weeks of intensive, in-person lab work at various NYU STEM labs, including those at the Tandon School of Engineering.
Under the guidance of NYU faculty, graduate students, and postdoctoral researchers, participants contribute to cutting-edge projects across diverse STEM fields. Students gain approximately 150 hours of hands-on lab experience, developing technical skills in data collection, analysis, and scientific inquiry. The program culminates in a colloquium and poster symposium where students present their research findings to the NYU community and other experts, enhancing their public speaking and presentation abilities.
A typical day involves commuting to an NYU lab, working on a specific research project under mentor guidance, troubleshooting problems, and potentially attending afternoon lectures or workshops on topics like research methods or public speaking.
This program is best 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 pursuing authentic, hands-on research.
