Research Science Institute (RSI)

                                                       Research Science Institute 2024
 
   This application is intended to offer each candidate the opportunity to demonstrate depth and strength of background in academics, extracurricular experiences, leadership, and service, as well as to highlight personal motivations, aspirations, and achievements that promise future leadership in science, technology, engineering, or mathematics.
   The Research Science Institute (RSI) is an intensive, six-week summer residential STEM enrichment program co-sponsored by the Center for Excellence in Education (CEE) and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). RSI is intended for students of exceptionally strong academic ability and background, between the students' 11th and 12th grades or the equivalent years of secondary school. Typically, this means students apply in the middle of their junior year (third year, or grade 11) in high school. To be considered, younger students should seek to obtain an explicit exception granted from CEE (email questions to [email protected]).
   Selection of all RSI students is based on evidence of performance in academic and extracurricular settings, passion for science, technology, engineering, and/or mathematics, and promise of future leadership in STEM. The RSI application consists of three parts to be completed by the student, some with multiple sub-parts. Please ensure that all required responses are completed correctly and submitted online by the relevant deadlines.
