Science Ambassador Scholarship

Scholarship Sponsored by Cards Against Humanity

Overview

Cards Against Humanity runs an annual scholarship that supports women entering STEM fields. The program emphasizes clear, engaging explanations of STEM topics and rewards applicants who can teach a concept effectively. Submissions are evaluated by an expert advisory board, with finalists and winners selected for further consideration. Awards are disbursed through recipients' colleges or universities.

Description: An annual scholarship for female high school seniors or undergraduate students focused on science, technology, engineering, or math.

• Sponsor: Cards Against Humanity
• Focus on teaching a STEM topic clearly
• Administered through video submissions

Eligibility

Eligibility is limited to women who are either high school seniors or enrolled undergraduates pursuing studies in STEM disciplines. The program does not specify additional residency, GPA, or institutional requirements in the provided information. If you meet the stated status and field criteria, you are eligible to apply. Other eligibility details should be confirmed with the official scholarship announcement.

Eligibility: Female high school seniors or undergraduate college students in science, technology, engineering, or math.

• Applicants must identify as female

How to Apply

Applicants must submit a single educational video no longer than three minutes in which they teach a STEM topic. The video should function as a mini-lecture—clear, creative, accurate, and demonstrative of the applicant's passion; production quality is not a factor. Cite sources used for the presentation, ideally as a final slide or frame. Upload the video to YouTube and set it to public; videos that are not public will not be considered.

Application Instructions: Create a three-minute or shorter mini-lecture on any STEM topic, upload it publicly to YouTube, and include source citations.

• Format: mini-lecture, not a personal statement
• Length: three minutes or less (strict limit)
• Content: scientifically accurate; cite sources
• Submission: uploaded to YouTube and set to public
