This contest is an opportunity for teachers to supplement their lesson plans and provide students with creative and competitive outlets. Students study patterns, analyze relationships, draft and refine their solutions, and submit their work.
Prizes are:
- First place (one winner): $300 and a full four-year academic tuition scholarship
- Second Place (up to five winners): $150 each and a $2,500 per year scholarship for four years
- Third Place: (up to ten winners): $100 each and a $2,500 per year scholarship for four years
In order to receive the scholarship, the winner must be directly admitted to the School of Science and be a full-time major in any discipline within the School of Science.
Scholarships in the amount of $2,500 per year will be awarded to the remaining cash prize winners who are directly admitted to the School of Science and attend full time. These scholarships are renewable for four years, given satisfactory academic performance. Winners may receive only one scholarship from the School of Science for winning the contest, but are still eligible for other campus-based scholarships.
