ORISE Undergraduate Scholarship: Mental Health Awareness Challenge

The Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE) is hosting a hands-on challenge for undergraduate students! The challenge is for students to research healthy habits for good mental health; commit to one healthy habit for 21 days; and develop either an infographic or podcast detailing the research and experience. The infographic or podcast should discuss your healthy habit and why other students should (or should not) use your method to better their own mental health. Your infographic or podcast could win you a $5,000 scholarship!

The deadline for submitting your entry to this competition is Wednesday, March 31, 2021. Winners will be announced in late April.
