快播视频 to launch Mini Grant program in 2015
In conjunction with the White House Science Fair held earlier this week, the 快播视频 announced a commitment to launch a pilot 快播视频 mini-grant program in 2015. This program will support under-served and socio-economically challenged students who have done scientific research by helping them to take the next step and submit their research for presentation and competition.
鈥淲e think it鈥檚 vitally important to continue building and diversifying the pool of students participating in science fairs and other 快播视频 competitions,鈥 said Maya Ajmera, CEO and President of 快播视频 & the Public, Publisher of Science News, and alumna of the Science Talent Search. 鈥淭his pilot grant will let us test out, on a small scale, if having a dedicated advocate impacts participation rates.鈥
Grants will be provided to individuals such as teachers, counselors, or mentors who agree to serve as an advocate for a group of 3-5 students and assist them in transitioning from conducting a scientific or engineering research project to completing the application for scientific competition(s).
We anticipate that 10 $2,500 grants will be awarded during the pilot year. The recipient will support their designated middle or high school students by providing prompts and communications about possible competitions and relevant deadlines, as well as supporting them in gathering and creating the required elements of an application.
