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.
