    https://www.scienceambassadorscholarship.org/

    Film a three–minute video of yourself explaining a STEM topic you're passionate about. You must be a high school senior or an undergraduate college student to apply. To view examples of previous application videos, click here. Your video should be:

    • A mini–lecture, not a personal statement. Pretend you're a lecturer speaking to a class. Teach us something.
    • A demonstration of your passion for the subject. Your video doesn't need to be fancy or high–tech. Production value is not a factor in judging.
    • Scientifically accurate. We encourage you to cite sources you use to research your topic.
    • Clear and creative. People who aren't science experts, like students or non–scientist adults, should be able to understand your video.
    • About any STEM topic, not necessarily your field of study.
    • Three minutes or less in length. Please upload your video to YouTube marked ‘public.’

       

     

     

     

    One Earth Award

    About this Special Achievement Award:

    The One Earth Award provides four students whose creative works encourage the awareness of, and meaningful responses to, pressing issues of human-caused climate change with $1,000 scholarships. 

    What is climate change?

    Climate change refers to significant changes in global temperature, precipitation, wind patterns, and other measures of climate that occur over several decades or longer. It has numerous ecological impacts and humanitarian consequences, including species extinction and habitat loss, population displacement, food systems, water resources, and declining ecosystems.

    Works by artists and writers advance our thoughts, reflections and understanding of solutions, and improve awareness of individual actions that we can take to reduce harm and slow the current destruction of planetary resources.
