UPDATE 5/23/2023: We have extended the application review period for three weeks due to the large number of applications at the deadline. We want to give each applicant's submission consideration and cannot do so in the short period we had planned. We plan to select finalists during the next two weeks and then confirm eligibility with their educational institution. After this process we will announce the winner. Thank you for your patience.
