  4. Opportunity for Women in STEM: 
    Perricone MD and The Scientista Foundation have partnered to give away four $20,000 fellowships to four amazing women in STEM. The application consists of recording a 3-5 minute video explaining how they embody the qualities of a born seeker -- drive, curiosity, and perseverance regarding their scientific and personal life.  Everyone has a unique story to tell, and we would encourage all female STEM students to apply.  The application can be found at www.bornseekersfellowship.com
