The Science Ambassador Scholarship
Deadline: December 15, 2025
Award: $20,000 tuition scholarships for the 2026 academic year
HOW TO APPLY
Film a three–minute educational 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. Check out our previous winners to see videos we've liked in the past. Your 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.’ No exceptions

Bright Lights Scholarship
Deadline: December 12, 2025
Award: $600
With its potential to open so many doors to the future, college should be accessible to everyone who wants it.
Many students from low-income or first-generation households never consider college to be an attainable option, especially if their parents don’t see it as an option. Regardless of one’s dreams, passions, or potential, college can feel impossible simply because of the cost.
This scholarship aims to support students who have had to overcome obstacles in order to pursue a college education.
Any high school or undergraduate student who is an underrepresented minority and/or a first-generation college student may apply for this scholarship.
Eligibility Requirements
High school or undergraduate student
Underrepresented minority and/or first-generation college student
