About the Scholarship
Sttark is offering a $3,000 scholarship to a U.S. high school senior, undergraduate, or graduate student who can creatively explore the idea that human beings cannot and should not be labeled the way products are. The company encourages applicants to set aside any limiting labels they’ve been given and instead express their authentic creativity through a written essay and an original label design.
This annual award celebrates students who think differently those who understand that while products can carry labels, people should not be boxed in by assumptions or stereotypes.
“You can’t label people, but you can label products.”
Applicants are asked to submit a 1,000‑word creative essay that reflects their personal connection to this idea. Sttark provides optional guiding questions to help spark inspiration, such as:
