All the scholarship recipients will be invited to the CESASC Annual Convention and network with professionals in the fields. Graduate student recipients may also be invited to present their research work at the CESASC Annual Convention. Each scholarship recipient will be paired up with a mentor who is a CESASC member.

The awardees must attend in person the CESASC 2025 Annual Convention to receive the awards. The awardees are also recommended to join CESASC as a member, commit themselves to volunteer at CESASC STEM program (e.g., mentoring middle/high school participants of STEM essay contest), and help organizing future CESASC events and annual conventions. Regardless of the results, we encourage all applicants stay involved and participate in future CESASC activities and be part of CESASC family.

Please help us notify your fellow students about this opportunity. We look forward to hearing from all of you.

Thank you for your interest and best of luck in your educational endeavor.
