Rushank is a recipient of the Rise (0.2% acceptance rate) program, a joint initiative of Schmidt Futures and the Rhodes Trust, funded by a $1 billion commitment from former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, that finds brilliant people who need opportunity and supports them for life as they work to serve others. The program starts at ages 15–17 and offers a lifetime of benefits including full college scholarships, mentorship, access to career development opportunities, funding, and more as the global winners work toward solving humanity’s most pressing problems.

"The Fellowship enabled me to launch a career in social-change. While our education system teaches the youth to wait their turn, Civics Unplugged accelerates the projects, potential, and power of our generation to build a brighter future."

"Civics Unplugged is a second home for me. I often find myself most comfortable in the CU Community, where I've met lifelong friends and mentors. The Fellowship also gave me long lasting opportunities that I would not have been able to receive at my public high school with limited resources."

“CU has not only helped me better understand the world and my you-shaped hole within it, it's where I have found some of my closest friends. The fellowship is like a gateway to a community where I have felt truly understood and loved.”
