U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy 2013 National Geothermal Student Competition
The competition is designed to advance the understanding of geothermal energy as a valued resource by promoting innovation, exploration, and entrepreneurship among the nation’s colleges and universities. It also seeks to engage students in a collaborative exercise to develop a business plan for developing a geothermal enterprise.
How it works
Interdisciplinary student teams will create a business white paper on geothermal energy production and commercialization within their state or region. Each semi-finalist team will receive a total award of $5,500, where $5,000 is expected to be used as planning funds (stipend) and $500 is to be used to startup a geothermal club on your campus.
How to apply
The application due date is Friday, March 29, 2013. Detailed information about the competition can be found at: http://orise.orau.gov/science-education/capabilities/science-education-events/eere-geothermal-student-competition.aspx. Quesitons? Contact Desmond Stubbs,desmond.stubbs@orau.org.
