Sttark is awarding a $3,000 scholarship to one U.S. high school senior, undergraduate, or graduate student who can creatively “unbox” their life through a short video.

Applicants are encouraged to reflect on how they present themselves to the world, what’s inside their “box,” and how their experiences reveal their character.
The Spring 2026 round of Sttark’s creative scholarship officially opens on January 1, 2026, inviting students across the United States to showcase their originality through writing and design.
