**NYU Tandon ARISE** (Applied Research Innovations in Science and Engineering) offers **paid, five-week research apprenticeships** for New York City high school students in engineering and science labs at the NYU Tandon School of Engineering. Participants work alongside NYU faculty, graduate students, and researchers on ongoing projects in areas such as engineering, computer science, and applied sciences. The program emphasizes hands-on lab experience, scientific methods, and exposure to real-world research practices. ARISE is well-suited for students who are: - Motivated to explore **STEM fields** beyond the classroom - Interested in learning how research is conducted in university labs - Considering **engineering, computer science, or science majors** in college Students gain experience that can strengthen **college applications**, including: - Demonstrated initiative through participation in a selective research program - Practical research skills and familiarity with lab protocols - Opportunities to discuss a substantial STEM experience in application essays and interviews Participants may also build mentoring relationships with researchers and begin to understand the expectations of college-level work, which can help clarify academic and career goals in STEM. For current eligibility details, application instructions, and program structure, students should consult the ARISE page on the NYU Tandon website.
