Landing School Develops I3 Scholarship

The Landing School has developed of a merit-based scholarship aimed at students who excel at working with their hands. The Imagination, Initiative, Invention (I3) Scholarship is a competitive scholarship that is awarded based on a student’s ability to illustrate their creative skill by building an object of their choice.

The Landing School is a place where students come to build with their hands. By using imagination, initiative and invention, students can win one of three $5,000 scholarships. What students build is entirely up to them. It can literally be anything and does not have to be marine-related. 

“This scholarship is one that truly reflects the kinds of students who come to The Landing School,” said Dr. Richard Schuhmann, Landing School President. “Our students are creative and inventive and love working with their hands. But attending college can be a strain financially. We need to help prospective students fund their education. So why not do that by giving them a chance to show us their imagination, initiative and invention? They get a chance to show us their passion while potentially earning $5,000 towards their education and we get a chance to learn more about our students and their dedication to their craft.” 

Submissions should be in the form of a 3-5 minute video where the student describes three things: What they built, how they built it and why they built it. Submissions should be uploaded to YouTube by June 22. Once the student has uploaded their video they should email a link to susangross@landingschool.edu. Projects will be voted on by Landing School faculty and staff and awarded by July 17. This scholarship is for first year students only.
