OTC Medicine Safety Individual Student Scholarships
Due April 3, 2026 by Midnight Eastern
The OTC Medicine Safety Individual Student Scholarship is not a team project. An individual student creates an individual project or serves as the leader for a project that follows these guidelines. (NOTE: This should not be the team video or any required team competition, but an additional individual project or presentation(s). Applicants are encouraged to be creative. Applicants should complete the scholarship application below.
After reviewing the LifeSmarts U Lessons on Drug Facts Label and Medicine 101, the YMI Over-the-Counter Medicine Safety materials, and the LifeSmarts OTC resources, design a social media message, presentation, informative video (must be different than team competition entry), game, podcast, infomercial, news broadcast, webpage, educational social media page, PSA, Table Tents, Placemats, table-top display, door hanger, poster, or another educational product that will communicate the importance of OTC safety to others. Your project can review general safety information or have a detailed focus on one aspect of OTC medicine safety that others should know! Be creative!
Implement and evaluate your project as much as possible prior to the scholarship deadline and/or list what you might do differently next time and other audiences you plan to share the presentation with in the future.
Project background:
LifeSmarts partners with Kenvue to educate consumers about the safe use of over-the-counter medicines. Winning entries may be published on the LifeSmarts site and shared with Kenvue, the scholarship sponsor.
