Sean Carroll's Mindscape Big Picture Scholarship

This scholarship is open to all students who have a deep curiosity in studying the universe for its own sake—whether that be pursuing studies in physics, philosophy, biology, mathematics, literature, or any other field that seeks better understanding of our existence—and will seek to lift up those from underrepresented communities in those fields, and first-generation college students. Scholarship recipients will receive $10,000, to be put toward the tuition cost of an undergraduate degree.

To apply, write an essay explaining why you think it's important that we work to better understand the nature of our universe, and what ideas and concepts you hope to employ in order to do so.
