What is eScholarship?
|
eScholarship has ended for 2023-2024. A list of winner can be found at 2023-2024 Scholarship Recipients. Stop back in the fall to read about the next eScholarship Competition.
eScholarship is a way for Winona State students to win a $1,000.00 scholarship! Everyone can use extra money to help pay for their tuition. It's easy and fun ... plus you get to show off your awesome talents! eScholarship is sponsored by Aspen Capital.
Aspen Capital, in partnership with Winona State University, provides the latest mobile devices and technology to Winona State students.
A key component of the partnership established between Aspen Capital and WSU includes Aspen’s commitment to give back to the University. Accordingly, Aspen Capital is pleased to provide financing for the 2024-2025 e-Warrior Aspen Capital eScholarships. This year Aspen Capital has once again generously donated $10,000 enabling us to provide 10 students with a $1,000 scholarship for the e-Warrior: Digital Life & Learning Program. These scholarships will be awarded through four different eScholarship competitions.
Each year we pick a topic related to technology and/or Winona State.

This Year's Theme
|
This year's theme is "Culture of Caring: The Positive Impact of Technology".
This years theme is the University's 2023-2024 theme.
Consider how technology can influence our culture to create a caring atmosphere. One that facilitates a mentally well mind prepared to learn, work, teach and contribute meaningully to our communities. This theme is an opportunity to explore how technology can influence mental wellness here at Winona State, in our community, and in our world.
This year we want you to focus on the positive impact that technology has on our everyday life - especially life here at WSU! There are four categories which gives you four different ways to express yourself within this theme.

Questions from WSU students regarding eScholarship
Q. 1) To create a video is it required to have a team? 2) Can I have other people in my video that are not WSU students?
A. 1) No—you do not need to use a “team”. If you wish to create a video yourself that is fine. We just say that “up to 4” students can form a team for this category. 2) You can have whoever and whatever you want (that falls within the guidelines) in your video. Only eligible WSU students would actually win $1,000.
