STAR (Science, Technology, Arts) Program at Rensselaer 2018

Rensselaer Admissions, in coordination with members of Rensselaer's Black and Latinx communities, invites academically talented under-represented seniors to apply to 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 Thursday, October 25, 2018, with a dinner reception, and concludes Saturday, October 27, 2018, at the close of the Fall Open House.

The application will open in August. 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 30, 2018. Students accepted to the program will receive a confirmation email from Rensselaer.

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 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 correspondence.
