What is RISE?
The Roman Institute of Scholarship and Excellence (RISE) is a one-of-a-kind summer retreat that offers highly motivated high school students the knowledge and skills they need to excel in a competitive global environment. Once a year, RISE brings a select group of the country's most promising juniors and seniors together with young scholars from the world's most prestigious universities for three weeks of mentorship, scholarship and cultural immersion at an exclusive 19th century villa close to the center of Rome. Unlike any other study abroad program, RISE offers a multi-dimensional experience, combining a philosophical grounding with an interactive education in globally relevant issues. This is enhanced by skills workshops that provide hands-on training in the practical aspects of leadership and academic success.
