"Innovation is responsible for meaningful change in virtually all facets of life. Whether in science, arts, or culture, innovation challenges the status quo and asks the question 'How can we make things better or find solutions for an unmet need?' Innovation and invention are quite different but frequently connect. Successful innovation is necessary to move worthwhile inventions forward."
This scholarship is intended to provide support for a student who has demonstrated the characteristics of innovative thinking and interest in the processes of innovation in science, technology, or the arts.
