ORISE Scholarship opportunity

ORISE offers scholarship opportunities to students pursuing careers in STEM

Instruments: A Problem in the Solution

https://orise.orau.gov/stem/internships-fellowships-research-opportunities/scholarships.html?fbclid=IwAR0Khtf4RmiEqh0yZ-gJfgh1y7FhT1fKDklPF7_-Z-rt-XD7Hm9DN8ngi0w

Technology plays a key role in many fields, but it is not without limitations. Although technology has helped to make great advancements in data collection, there are times that the instruments themselves interfere in the measurements. The Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE) is hosting a problem-based challenge for undergraduate students. The challenge for undergraduates is to identify a situation in which an instrument interferes with its own measurements and data collection, and to propose a solution to the problem. Your proposal could win you a $5,000 scholarship! The deadline for this competition is Wednesday, April 3, 2019, and winners will be announced in early May.

Prizes:
1st place: $ 5,000 scholarship
2nd place: $ 3,000 scholarship
3rd place: $ 1,000 scholarship
