    Requirements

    How and What to Submit:

    A student must come up with a unique Scholarship Program idea that is aimed at high school and/or college students.  The three most important aspects of the "Scholarship Program" that you come up with are:

    1) That it is Unique- Don't simply find another scholarship that you have heard of and copy it.

    2) That it is Appealing- The more interested a student would be in applying to your "Scholarhsip Program" the better.

    3)  That it is Designed for a specific TYPE of Company- It is important to try and match up your "Scholarship Program" idea to a particular TYPE of business.  For example, we recently launched a scholarship program of r a company called Black and Lee.  Black and Lee rents tuxedo's for graduation.  Thus, the scholarhip essay the student is asked to write relates to the event (ie. graduation)
     

    Note that the scholarship program idea you come up with does not have to ask the student to write an essay.  You could ask them to make a video or build something or anything else you desire.  Try and be creative.

    Tenshon Scholarship
    Application Deadline August 1st
    Organization Tenshon Scholarship
    Scholarship Amount $1,500
    Qualifications

    At Tenshon® we have the interesting and challenging task of merging form and function, creativity with practicality … and we employ valued individuals who glorify these tasks on a daily basis. Whether we are working on large commercial projects, such as stadiums and corporate offices, or taking on more intimate residential spaces, our designers must learn to adapt quickly, perform creatively and think practically.

    With that, we are extending that same challenge to students everywhere, who are interested in the fields of architecture, design and/or engineering to create a unique shade sail structure using our standard sized shade sails. The purpose of this scholarship design contest is to ultimately expand your mind to the possibilities found in the tensile fabric industry and reward the stand-out students who best display an aptitude for shade sail design.

    Requirements

    How Do We Select a Winner?

    Based on the following criteria, a winner will be chosen by the current design team, engineering department and management at Tenshon®:

     

    1) Creativity – Above all, we want a designer that thinks outside the box. Be creative!

     

    2) Build-Ability – The designed shade sail system must be build-able. Feel free to use our website as a reference and/or seek other information about limitations of shade sails. NOTE: We do not expect perfection here, but an obvious attempt must be made to design a shade sail system into a setting that can feasibly exist.

     

    3) Practicality – Shade sails gained their name because they provide shade. While art has its place, we must merge art and function to satisfy the number one need of our clients, shade. All designs must therefore provide shade in the obvious places of your chosen setting.
