  • Be currently enrolled in a major program in Arts and Sciences;
  • Be earning a degree in the college of Arts and Sciences;
  • Have an Ohio State faculty advisor with whom they work to devise and refine a proposal, and who will be responsible for overseeing the project once it is underway;
  • Not be travelling to a risk-designated country (please note the information about travel restrictions, which is included on the application materials).

The deadline for applications for the Spring 2023 competition is Monday, February 13, 2023 (before 5:00 p.m.). Awards will be announced in April.
