Inspira Advantage is dedicated to transparency in our scholarship selection process. We will select winners following this framework:
1. Your video and essay carry equal weight in our selection process. Your video is judged based on the substance and quality of your responses. Essays are evaluated based on content, writing style, and flow.
2. We will consider how many likes, reshares, and comments your video receives (sharing on more platforms is beneficial).
3. We will select the winner based on whose video demonstrates the most compelling reason for how the MED Scholarship will help them realize their goals and the thoughtfulness of how they plan to make an impact in their communities/the world; winners will also be selected based on the narrative quality of their essay.
