Sttark “Unboxing Your Life” Video Scholarship (Spring 2026) - $3000, U.S Citizens Only

Students are invited to create a 4–6 minute video (5 minutes recommended) that reveals something meaningful about their life, personality, or journey. Sttark offers optional thought‑starters, such as:

• Have your life experiences changed the way you present yourself?
• Have you ever felt “boxed in” or hesitant to open up?
• What message does your personal “packaging” send—and can it be misleading?

• Any creative approach is welcome: symbolic objects, storytelling, narration, montage, or a literal unboxing.
