Part of a yearlong initiative, Texas A&M University Race, Identity & Social Equity (RISE) Fellowship provides undergraduate students from various disciplines an opportunity to conduct research with emphasis on race, identity, and social equity. Students are selected to attend the National Conference on Race and Ethnicity (NCORE) in American Higher Education and later present their research at the Texas A&M RISE Conference in spring.  Applicants are selected based on their academic interests and achievements as well as their leadership interests and experience.

The Texas A&M RISE Fellowship program is sponsored by the Division of Student Affairs, academic colleges, and Association of Former Students.
