October 25 - 27, 2018

Apply by September 24, 2018

Rensselaer Admissions, in coordination with members of Rensselaer's Black and Latinx communities, invites academically talented underrepresented seniors to apply for Science, Technology, and Arts at Rensselaer (STAR). The STAR Program allows high school seniors to stay on campus, attend classes, and explore a day in the life of a Rensselaer student. Activities include 

• Academic exploration
• Interactive leadership activity
• Campus tour
• Laboratory tours
• Student panels
• Lodging and meals with current students

STAR begins on Thursday evening with a dinner reception and concludes Saturday at the close of the Fall Open House.

Travel assistance may be provided for students who present financial hardship. Requests must be submitted through the STAR application. Pick-up can be scheduled for students arriving via train, plane, or bus.

Students may apply online https://admissions.rpi.edu/STAR by September 24, 2018 to participate in the STAR Program.  A copy of the students’ high school transcript is required to complete the STAR application prior to the deadline date of September 24, 2018.

Students accepted to participate in the STAR Program will receive a confirmation email from Rensselaer.

At the end of the event, all participants will receive an official letter confirming their participation in the event. We always encourage the students to show the letter to you and/or an attendance clerk so their absence is recognized as an official college visit.
