RISE Information and Application for Juniors

Students who participated in RISE as sophomores will receive an email invitation to attend a NSBE sponsored Pre-College Initiative event the fall of their junior year.

Current high school juniors may also apply to the RISE program. New participants and returning students will attend the Engineering Open House the spring of junior year. Students are bused to campus, arriving on Sunday afternoon. They stay overnight in a local hotel, and take part in an evening orientation program that includes dinner in one of the dining halls, a student panel and evening entertainment in the BreakZONE. On Monday, the students participate in the College of Engineering Open House activities to give them more information about the university and majors within Engineering. Participants return home Monday evening.

Applications are open. DEADLINE to application to attend spring 2024 events is Sunday, March 17, 2024. Decisions will be emailed by Monday, March 25th.

As part of the application you will need to:

1. Write a one-paragraph answer to the question: What interests you about engineering?
2. Upload a high school grade transcript. It does not have to be official.

Note: Students who were accepted into the RISE program as sophomores do not need to reapply.
