NextStepU is happy to help guide you toward scholarships and opportunities to earn money for college. Here is a new scholarship we found for you!
Scholarship: Doodle 4 Google
Requirements: 250 doodles will be chosen by a panel of Google employees based on which doodles they feel best represent the theme “If I Could Invent One Thing to Make the World a Better Place…”. In each state, one doodle will be selected in each grade group, meaning each grade group and each state will be equally represented. (Entries from the District of Columbia will be judged with entries from Maryland.) Doodles will be grouped and judged by the following grade groups: Grades K-3, Grades 4-5, Grades 6-7, Grades 8-9 and Grades 10-12.
Details: The U.S. public will vote for their favorite doodle from the 50 State Winners. Online voting will take place from April 29, 2014 9:00 a.m. Pacific Time (PT) to May 9, 2014 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time. The highest ranking doodler from each grade group will be named as a National Finalist. Google will announce the five National Finalists (1 per grade group), in an awards ceremony held at the Google Headquarters in California on May 21, 2014.
Amount:
• One national winner will have his or her doodle featured on the U.S. Google.com homepage and be awarded a $30,000 college scholarship to be used at a school of his or her choice, a trip to the Google Headquarters in California for the final awards ceremony on May 21st, 2014, a Google Chromebook computer, an Android tablet, and a T-shirt printed with his or her doodle on it. The winner’s full-time school will receive a $50,000 Google for Education grant towards the establishment/improvement of a computer lab or technology program with Chromebooks for Education and/or tablets with Google Play for Education.
• Four national finalists will each win a $5,000 college scholarship to be used at the school of their choice, a trip to the Google Headquarters in California for the final awards ceremony on May 21st, 2014, an Android tablet, and a T-shirt printed with his or her doodle on it.

• Theme Communication: How clearly the competition theme is expressed in both the artwork and the written statement.
