The Milton Fisher Scholarship for Innovation and Creativity is accepting applications for this unusual college scholarship, until April 30, 2016.
A $20,000 college scholarship (up to $5000 per year for four years ), is open to high school juniors, seniors, and freshmen in college, who have created “outside the box “ projects, often not related to school. One does not have to be an A student to submit an application. Originality is a key factor, and multiple scholarships are awarded each year, based on the quality of the projects submitted.
Apply for this scholarship if you are …
a student who has solved an artistic, scientific, or technical problem in a new or unusual way
a student who has come up with a distinctive solution to problems faced by your school, community or family
a student who has created a new group, organization, or institution that serves an important need
Several New Haven area students have been awarded this scholarship for a range of projects. One student led the team that developed the Mobile Food Market, and partnered with City Seed to implement it. Another developed a micro-pottery class at Eli Whitney Museum. A full list of awardees is on our site. While we often receive applications that are scientific, we are very interested in projects with a personal, artistic, or community focus.
The application deadline is April 30, 2016.
