How it works

From application to community.

Four steps, and your progress saves as you go so you can stop and pick it back up on any device.

The path

What happens, in order

Nobody is graded and nothing is a test. We ask so that we can put you with the right people.

  1. Apply

    Create an account with your Morgan State email and answer a few short screens: who you are, what you study, what matters to you, and how you like to work. Then read and accept six agreements.

  2. Get verified and settle dues

    RISE confirms you are a currently enrolled Morgan scholar. Dues are $20 a semester, and payment plans are available. See dues and refunds.

  3. Meet your house

    At induction you find out which house is yours, welcomed by the scholars already in it.

  4. Find your people

    You are connected to a small accountability group and a peer mentor. They check in with you, and you with them, on a schedule that fits the semester.

  5. Serve and grow

    Serve, learn, and show up together, term after term. There is always a next thing to join.
