Future innovation starts with today’s students, and Masergy continues to promote the value of innovative ideas as a sponsor of the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) Scholarship program. Following an annual company tradition that dates back four years now, Masergy announced today that it is sponsoring a Spring 2020 STEM scholarship. $10,000 in total prizes will be awarded to students whose inventions have the most potential to make an impact on society.
The Spring 2019 winner was Krystal Horton, a 17-year-old student of Western Center Academy High School in Hemet, California. She attracted the judges’ attention with an innovative and research-based approach aimed at treating Alzheimer’s disease–the most common cause of dementia. Horton created a homemade electroencephalograph (EEG) and several other devices to curtail Alzheimer’s disease. Her approach is based on animal model research by Dr. Li-Huei Tsai at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Horton’s EEG was able to measure changes in gamma wave production, and her efforts serve as a proof of concept that may be used for treatments in the future.
So, how do STEM students apply?
STEM majors registered at a four-year accredited university are eligible for one of two $5,000 awards. Interested students should submit a maximum 60-second video showcasing a STEM-related innovation they developed. Videos should be uploaded with @MASERGY on Twitter using the hashtag #MasergySTEMscholarship. A Masergy judging panel will determine winners based on the originality and impact of their invention.
Submissions are currently being accepted until December 15, 2019 for Spring 2020. Click here for a quick tutorial on the video submission process. For more information about the scholarship.
