The video must express the teen's perspective on how Alzheimer's is important to their lives and the lives of others. The video is not only a competition but serves to teach teens more about the disease and how it impacts persons affected by Alzheimer's.
Two prizes are awarded each year to the winning videos, including a grand prize winner and a first runner-up. Winning entries are judged by members of the Alzheimer's Foundation of America and winners are notified in February.
The Alzheimer's Foundation of America is a national, member-based non-profit national organization dedicated ”to provide optimal care and services to individuals confronting dementia, and to their caregivers and families—through member organizations dedicated to improving quality of life.” The video competition was created to raise Alzheimer's awareness among youth and encourage them to volunteer for the cause.
The deadline for this scholarship is usually in DECEMBER of each year, and the award amount is usually $250 - $500.
