RISE FELLOWSHIP
Research and Independent Scholarship Engagement
Attention The Dream.US Scholars
In addition to the paid Internships, we now have paid Fellowships!
RISE projects should further students’ academic interests and/or career development. They may comprise a paper, performance, or other creative work, research engagement, training opportunity, or be purely experiential
in nature. All RISE projects must have a designated faculty or staff sponsor.
RISE fellows will:
- Participate in their approved project 4-20 hrs/week. Total time investment must range 40-200 hours, but not necessarily all in one term.
- Receive a stipend with amount dependent on total hours on project.
- Participate in quarterly RISE leadership and professional development opportunities offered through the Center for Professional Pathways and Division of Student Affairs.
- Submit a final reflection on their experience.
