$25000 STEAM HORIZON AWARD

Awarded to students who have inspiring achievements in the fields of science, technology, engineering, arts and math. These achievements could be formally recognized – a science fair win, a published app, a patented invention, etc. or they could be less formally recognized – the founding of a local coding club, developing a course for kids, or creating a local interactive art installation. Regardless of the accomplishment, it must reflect passion and illustrate a positive impact on the community.

To be eligible to apply, you must:

• be a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident of Canada by the application deadline;
• be 16 to 18 years of age by the application deadline;
• have been recognized for accomplishments in a formal capacity (e.g., selected as a winner or participant of a science fair, patent application, conference presentation) or less formal capacity (e.g., founding a coding club, developing a course for kids, creating an interactive art installation, volunteer work, community outreach);
• have obtained, over the previous year of study, an academic average of 80% or higher;
• be preparing to enroll in the fall of 2020 in your first year of post-secondary education (university, college or CÉGEP) in a STEAM field at a Canadian institution.

*Art and design fields will only be accepted if they are integrated in science and technology. 

The award sponsors welcome applicants who reflect the diverse nature of our country. All qualified applicants are encouraged to apply, including women, members of visible minorities, Indigenous persons, and persons with disabilities.
