Science Ambassador Scholarship
- You must be a high school senior or an undergraduate college student to apply. Your application video should be:
- A mini-lecture, not a personal statement. Pretend you’re a lecturer speaking to a class. Teach us something!
- Clear, creative, accurate, and a demonstration of your passion for the subject. We value novel, memorable approaches to topics. Your video doesn’t need to be fancy or high-tech. Production value is not a factor.
- Three minutes or less in length. Videos longer than this will not be considered. No exceptions!
- About any STEM topic, not necessarily your field of study. Pick a topic that excites and fascinates you. We don’t need to hear about the latest thing in science news (unless that’s your jam).
- Scientifically accurate. We encourage you to cite the sources used to research your topic. Ideally, this would be in a slide or frame at the end of your video. You can use any citation format you’d like.
- Uploaded to YouTube and marked ‘public.’ We can only accept videos, not Shorts. To prevent your video from automatically turning into a Short, avoid uploading a square or vertical aspect ratio, and instead use a wider one, like 16:9.
