Let's be real—college is expensive. Whether you're juggling student loans or saving up for lab supplies, a little extra cash can go a long way. That's where the Creative Biolabs Scholarship comes in, offering a sweet $1,000 award to one standout science student, which could be your ticket to easing some financial pressure and showing off your scientific smarts.
If you're majoring in a science-related field like biology, chemistry, biochemistry, or molecular biology, and you've got the grades, this one's definitely worth a shot. Read on to find out exactly what you need to apply—and how to make your application shine.
Who Can Apply?
First thing's first: are you eligible? The Creative Biolabs scholarship is open globally, which means whether you're studying in Boston or Berlin, you're good to go—as long as you check these boxes:
√ Enrolled in an accredited college or university (freshman, undergrad, grad, or PhD).
√ Major in a science-related field (e.g., Biology, Chemistry, Biochemistry, Molecular Biology).
√ Maintain at least a 3.0 GPA (B average).
Pretty doable, right?
√ What They're Looking For
This isn't just about your GPA. The Selection Committee is diving deep into your story. Here's what they care about:
Academic Ability—Not just your transcript, but your learning plan. Show them what you're curious about and how you're working toward it.
Leadership Skills—If you've led a club, mentored others, or inspired your peers, flaunt it!
Community Spirit—Volunteering, activism, or community outreach? Big plus.
In other words: grades matter, but heart and hustle count too.
How to Apply (Don't Skip a Step!)
You'll need to send a complete application package to the designated email address with the subject line:
"2025 Creative Biolabs Scholarship Application – Full Name".
Here's the checklist:
√ Completed Application Form—Download it from their scholarship page.
√ Transcript—Official or unofficial.
√ Recommendation Letter—From a teacher, counselor, or community leader.
√ Essay or PowerPoint Presentation—Your chance to shine. Pick ONE topic from below and go all in.
Essay/Presentation Topics (choose one):
√ Overview of Neurodegenerative Diseases and Disease-Related Biomarkers
