How To Apply This Fall

Applications for the 2026 academic year open this fall. To apply, film a three-minute educational video of yourself explaining a STEM topic you're passionate about. To view submissions we've liked in the past, check out our previous winners. You must be a high school senior or an undergraduate college student to apply. Your video should be:

• A minilecture, 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!

An advisory board of women and non-binary professionals who hold higher degrees and work in a broad range of STEM fields will review applications and select finalists. Finalists will be notified in early 2026 to submit additional materials, and five $20,000 winners will be announced in spring of 2025. Payments will be distributed directly to colleges or universities in fall of 2026.
