Student OpEd Scholarship
The Alliance for Innovation and Infrastructure (Aii) is excited to announce a fall 2024 scholarship for college students. The contest is open to all enrolled college students nationwide and seeks to engage America’s greatest rising minds to think about and articulate solutions to some of the nation’s most pressing challenges.
Aii presents students with three essay prompts and invites students to choose one. To enter the contest, students will write a well-reasoned and well-supported opinion column (like an OpEd) and submit it to a local, state, or national publication of your choosing. Once you’ve done so, upload a hyperlink to the published article or send in proof of a good faith effort to get your article placed.
