How Students Apply 
After you have introduced The DuPont Challenge© to your students, we suggest that you lead the class in a brainstorming session to list as many topics and issues in science as possible. You may also want to set up a schedule for students, giving a week-by-week or day-by-day checklist for having an idea approved by you, writing a first draft, revising, and preparing a final draft. We suggest that you review all student essays before they are presented for final submission.
- All student essays must meet the requirements and follow the official competition Rules.
