We have just recently launched this program. It is a worldwide scholarship contest for high school/secondary school students (ages 14-18)
To apply, students propose an idea for how they would like to use technology to help a charity (they do not actually have to implement the idea to apply). 10 worldwide finalists (5 females, 5 males) will be selected and each will receive US$5,000 to be divided up as follows:
- US$1,500 budget to implement the project
- US$2,500 scholarship
- US$1,000 donation to the student’s high school
