Ignite Your Hope for the Future 

RIT Certified connects education and industry, providing access to RIT’s curricular expertise through practical application. We believe everyone has the right to access educational pathways that lead to meaningful work, whether college is a part of that pathway or not. 

In High School Pro Advantage, we help high school students to explore a future that aligns their path with their passion. This five-day, industry-driven, experiential summer program is made of hands-on, immersive courses that takes place on RIT’s campus. In this program, students express their passions through the lens of a field with opportunities they may one day explore, all while experiencing life on a college campus for a week.

RIT Certified is reinvesting in student empowerment through the RISE scholarship. If you are selected for this scholarship, you will receive full tuition, room, and board to participate in this week-long residential immersion on RIT’s beautiful campus. 

This is not an academic scholarship. We are looking for you to articulate your commitment, passion, and how this experience might impact you.
