Who We Are
ARISE MS Foundation is a not-for-profit organization working to equip, educate, and empower students and instructors in Mississippi towards excellence in STEM areas through financial support to facilitate STEM education, instruction, and participation in hands-on research experiences throughout Mississippi. By working with our partner organizations (ARISE @ OleMiss) we are able to facilitate opportunities to students that may have never been able to access them. On a broader scale, the foundation's goal is to ensure that promising students regardless of background have access to the advanced resources they deserve.

What We Do
Every summer, we host our research sessions to high school and community college students across the state of Mississippi. However, these sessions aren't just about research. Students are given real insight into prospective future careers within the STEM field through mentoring, seminars, research, and hands-on practicum. Additionally, in order to ensure no student is excluded based on ability to pay, all of our programs are offered for free which include housing, meal plans, extracurricular activities, and more while staying at the host campus.
