"Rise" is searching for brilliant, underserved young people and supports them as they work to serve others.
The program starts at ages 15–17 and offers Global Winners (100 every year) access to benefits that last a lifetime, including need-based scholarships, a fully-funded residential experience, mentorship, career development opportunities, funding, and more.
Rise is committed to building a diverse and inclusive community that reflects a broad range of backgrounds and experiences. They are looking for hidden brilliance, in whatever form it takes, wherever it is in the world. From high school classrooms, to refugee camps, to science fairs, we believe that brilliance is equally distributed, but opportunity is not.
Today’s generation of young people confront climate change; lack of access to healthy food and safe water; educational setbacks due to COVID-19; and racial, gender, and other inequality. At the same time, we have better tools than ever to solve these problems. We need a new generation of leaders that can deal with the growing complexity of the world – and that can use the power of new tools and technologies to solve our greatest challenges.
Applications for the next class opened in October 2022. It is essential to apply ASAP in order to participate in the Challenge Project. For more information about how to apply, visit https://www.
