Twenty-two Students Will Receive Awards for Advertisements Related to Overpopulation
Negative Population Growth (NPG) is thrilled to announce its annual scholarship awards, which total a remarkable $50,000 this academic year. These scholarships are designed to support students who are tackling significant social issues through their creative talents, specifically advertising work that raises awareness about overpopulation.
Students from various backgrounds analyzed the important theme of U.S. population size and growth. For this contest, high school seniors and undergraduate students crafted original 100-200 word advertisements that could appeal to a broad audience in publications such as magazines or newspapers. These compelling pieces aimed to persuade readers to consider and support initiatives that could help mitigate the ongoing population crisis in the country.
Furthermore, graduate students were given parallel guidance, with the added task of proposing two suitable publications for their material, including brief explanations on why their advertisements aligned with those platforms. The overall aim is to connect the urgency of the overpopulation topic with practical solutions and engage the public in a challenging conversation.
This year's top honor went to Duc Thinh Nguyen, a graduate student from Cornell University, who received the Donald W. Mann Memorial Scholarship for Population Studies. Nguyen's work stood out among numerous submissions and was awarded a grand prize of $5,000 for his exceptional entry in the Graduate Student Written Advertisement Scholarship Contest.
In honor of NPG's late Director of Research, Edwin S. Rubenstein, a significant prize has also been established in his name. The first recipient of the Edwin S. Rubenstein Memorial Scholarship is undergraduate candidate Samay Shah from the University of Michigan – Ann Arbor, who earns a commendable $3,500 for his impactful advertisement.
NPG also recognized other graduate students, notably Christina Maria Louka from Columbia Business School, who earned $3,000 for her advertisement. The organization awarded eight additional scholarships of $2,000 each to outstanding students representing diverse academic institutions. These recipients include Trisha Badjatia from Dartmouth Geisel School of Medicine and LynnLee Bolin from Columbus State University, among others.
Undergraduate achievements were equally noteworthy, with Parshv Manishkumar Patel from the University of California, Berkeley, winning $2,500. Ten individual scholarships of $2,000 were awarded to a talented array of students from various universities like New York University and the University of Virginia.
The positive impact of NPG's scholarship program cannot be overstated. Since its inception in 2006, the organization has distributed hundreds of thousands in scholarship funds to support motivated young minds focused on solutions to the critical challenges of overpopulation.
NPG consistently places a strong emphasis on its Youth Outreach program, which engages educators nationwide to integrate population education into their classrooms. This vital program is sustained through the generous contributions of NPG members, united by the shared goal of ensuring a sustainable future for the next generations.
Since 1972, NPG's commitment to public education and policy advocacy regarding overpopulation issues has grown stronger. The organization actively promotes strategies aimed at responsible population management to create a balance between human and environmental needs. With proactive solutions at the forefront, NPG continues to inspire and lead conversations around population stabilization, advocating for sustainable growth practices to alleviate future pressures on our planet.
