About AskSia Scholarship
AskSia Scholarship is a competition offering two $1,500 USD awards for students to explore where the line falls between using AI and becoming dependent on it; essays are judged on argument alone and using AskSia is not required.
The scholarship is provided by AskSia and hosted on the University of Birmingham site for information. Awards are paid directly to the successful applicants’ institution and the programme is open to students from any country and field of study.
