The Science Ambassador Scholarship

Scholarship Overview: A $20,000 scholarship for women and non-binary students in STEM
Application Available: September 1, 2024
Deadline Date: December 16, 2024

Scholarship Details:

The Science Ambassador Scholarship is a full–tuition scholarship for women and non–binary students in science, technology, engineering, or math, funded by Cards Against Humanity.  It’s easy!  Film a three–minute educational video of yourself explaining a STEM topic you’re passionate about.  Applications for the 2026 award are due December 16, 2024.

Eligibility Requirements:

  1. You must be a high school senior or an undergraduate college student to apply
  2. Identify as a woman or as non-binary in a way that is significant to you.
  3. Planning to attend college full time in the United States during the 2024–2025 academic year
  4. Majoring in any field within science, technology, engineering, and math are eligible. For a full list of STEM fields, click here. STEM must be your major field of study (not your minor).

Video Requirements:

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. To view videos we’ve liked in the past, check out our previous winners. Your video should be:

  1. A mini–lecture, not a personal statement. Pretend you’re a lecturer speaking to a class. Teach us something.
  2. 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.
  3. Three minutes or less in length. Videos longer than this will not be considered. No exceptions!
  4. 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).
  5. 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.
  6. Uploaded to YouTube and marked ‘public.’ No exceptions!
