• Applicants must submit a link to a 5-10 minute video that includes evidence of their work and a pitch as to how their idea/project would benefit the community. We cannot accept video files via email attachment.

Judging

Submissions will be reviewed by a panel of industry experts. Awards will be granted based on how well each proposal meets the following criteria:

• Feasibility of implementation
• Benefit to the community
• Depth of research and detail of proposal including clear metrics for success
• Extent to which implementation has already occurred
• Presentation (organized ideas, professional appearance)

Note: Video Production will have no impact on the judging process (i.e. we are looking for clear content and good ideas, not well edited, entertaining videos).

To apply for the scholarship, students must register on Heatspring and complete the short webinar series in order to qualify.
