Academically talented, underrepresented minorities and young women are invited to apply for the STAR Program. The STAR Program allows high school seniors to experience life as a Rensselaer student. You will stay on campus, explore academics, tour campus, visit our laboratories, and connect with current Rensselaer students and faculty. The STAR Program begins on Thursday evening with a dinner and concludes on Saturday at the close of the Fall Open House.

A COPY OF YOUR HIGH SCHOOL TRANSCRIPT IS REQUIRED TO COMPLETE YOUR STAR APPLICATION.  Be sure to upload a copy with your application before the deadline date of September 20, 2017. 

Limited travel assistance is available for students for whom the trip to Rensselaer would present a financial hardship. Requests for assistance must be made in the STAR Program application below. Students accepted to participate in the STAR Program will receive a confirmation email from Rensselaer. Please do not schedule transportation to campus until you receive a confirmation email message with instructions to confirm your participation.

Be sure to check your spam trap and/or set your email messages from "Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (star@rpi.edu)" to insure that you receive all of our correspondences.
