High school seniors, undergraduates
Question: Can I apply more than once?
Answer: You can apply as many times as you want. Yes, you can submit multiple entries each month. If you have two great ideas in March and want to submit two different essays then you will be evaluated two separate times. You can even have a student and parent (financially supporting the student) apply during the same month.
Question: Can I apply more than 1 time per year?
Answer: You can apply as many times as you want. You can apply every month or even multiple times in a given month.
Question: What kind of school do I need to attend?
Answer: Here at Photonify we know that education is important. Education is also changing and students are taking classes at a variety of schools, universities and online programs. This scholarship is open to students of all schools, regardless of type and size. Learning is the objective, not the location or type of school.
Question: What is the required GPA?
Answer: Education is a lifelong pursuit. A GPA is just a snapshot in time and doesn’t show an individuals growth and potential. GPAs are all relative, your education and skill level will set you apart from everyone else.

In the event we do not collect 5 or more qualifying essay entries, all entries received during that month will be rolled forward into the next monthly scholarship.

In July we will only need 3 more entries to host the scholarship contest as we will then have the required 5 entries.
