The YRI Fellowship is a paid research program for high school students who want to build serious research experience, especially students aiming for ISEF, IEEE, science fairs, selective journals, and competitive research opportunities.

Although this is a paid program, NSRI is supporting and listing YRI because it is one of the few external programs we have seen produce strong student outcomes. YRI has shown especially strong results for ambitious high school researchers who want structured mentorship, clear deadlines, and publication or competition oriented research support.

Students in the program are matched with PhD level mentors and guided through the process of developing an original research project, writing a paper, and preparing for publication or competition submission.

This opportunity is best for high school students who are serious about research and want a more intensive, guided program.

Important note: YRI is currently the only paid research program officially backed by NSRI. Most NSRI research opportunities remain free, student led, and open access.
