The jury members will be looking for student volunteers who provide strong answers to a range of questions about what their initiative does, how it runs, and the story of their journey and motivation.

Entries will be evaluated on the following criteria:

• Innovation – Are you thinking innovatively to build financial health and resiliency or to solve social issues within your community?
• Potential to Scale – Do you have a vision for the future? Will this innovation create a meaningful impact, and does it have the ability to scale beyond your community?
• Connection – Do you show a deep understanding of a problem or barrier you are trying to solve and do you have a deep connection to the community you are bringing your solution to?
• Changemaker Quality – Are you passionate about making a change for the good of others, ready to show leadership or take action to solve a problem, and looking to activate others?
