RISE Research Programs
Everything you need to know before you apply — why publication matters, what each track includes, cohort deadlines, and the path from first call to onboarding.
Why Publications
A published paper is one of the clearest signals of academic readiness a high-school student can present to admissions officers.

Programs Offered
Two tracks, one goal: original, publishable research. Choose the depth of mentorship and support that fits your ambition.
Application Deadline & Program Dates
The application deadline and your start date are separate. As we follow a 1:1 mentorship model, mentor availability is limited and tends to fill up closer to each deadline. Applications become more competitive with each cohort, so we recommend applying early. Once selected, you can choose a start date that works best for you.
Application Timeline
Four steps from first conversation to your first day in the program.
Meet Your Mentors
A network of 199+ PhD mentors across every major discipline — each matched to your research interest, not assigned at random.
Offers from the World's Leading Universities
RISE alumni have earned places at the most selective universities worldwide — often with their research forming a meaningful part of their application.
