Science Ambassador Scholarship
Scholarship Sponsored by Cards Against Humanity
Cards Against Humanity’s annual scholarship supports female high school seniors and undergraduate students pursuing studies in science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM).
Eligibility
- Open to female high school seniors or undergraduate college students enrolled in a STEM program.
How to apply
- Create a three-minute educational video in which you teach a STEM concept you care about. This should be a short lecture-style presentation — think of addressing a classroom — not a personal essay or application speech.
Video requirements
- Length: Up to 3 minutes. Videos exceeding three minutes will be disqualified.
- Format and tone: Aim for clarity, creativity, and accuracy. Demonstrate enthusiasm for your topic and use an engaging, original approach. High production values are not required; content and teaching ability matter most.
- Topic: Any STEM subject is acceptable — it does not have to be your intended major or research area. Choose something that genuinely excites you.
- Accuracy and sourcing: Your explanation must be scientifically sound. We recommend listing the sources you used (for example, on a final slide or a closing frame). Any standard citation style is fine.
- Posting: Upload the video to YouTube and set its visibility to Public. Applications with videos that are not publicly viewable will not be accepted.
Selection and timeline
- Applications will be reviewed by an advisory panel made up of women and non-binary STEM professionals who hold advanced degrees and represent a variety of fields. From those submissions, finalists will be chosen and contacted in early 2026 to provide additional materials.
- Five winners, each receiving $20,000, will be announced in spring 2026.
Award distribution
- Scholarship funds will be paid directly to the recipient’s college or university in fall 2026.
