The $2,000 PixelPlex Bi-Annual STEM Scholarship was established to help support and inspire students to pursue further education in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM), as well as economics and business. One student will be chosen from the applicant pool based on the strength of their written essay. At the date of the award, applicants must be enrolled or accepted with plans to attend a college or university in the United States. Applicants must provide their full name (and parent/guardian name if they're under 18); their date of birth; their college or university; their average GPA; their expected year of graduation; their field of study; their phone number and email address; and proof of attendance or acceptance from a college or university. For their essay, applicants must choose an industry or sector where the application of one of the following technologies might be uncommon, in their opinion, and describe which existing problems will be solved as a result: Blockchain (DeFi, DApps, CBDC, NFT), Metaverses, Tokenization, and Big Data and Machine Learning. In the submission email, applicants must write a short paragraph or two about themselves and why they chose the topic. The deadlines to apply are June 5, 2024 and December 5, 2024.
