"Wise Company has a deep affinity for supporting education," said Aaron Jackson, Wise Company President and CEO.

In order to qualify, applicants should be legal U.S. residents and enrolled as a full-time student at an accredited university within the United States. Applicants also need to carry a cumulative GPA of 3.5 and be able to provide at least one letter of recommendation. The program is open to both undergraduate and graduate students.

Applicants will be asked to submit a 600-800-word essay, along with their written application, that answers this prompt: "What social impact would a major failure of the aging U.S. power grid have on our country? What can the average American do to better prepare for such a potential catastrophe?"

Applications should be submitted via email to martin(at)wisecompanyus(dot)com and should be received no later than June 1, 2016. Essays will be judged on originality and creativity, emotional impact, and relevance to the topic. Winners are expected to be announced around July 1, 2016. Prize levels are as follows:
