Step 2: Each participating state and the national Electronic Security Association will announce a first-place winner. Scholarship money will be awarded to all first-round winners.

Step 3: Over 20 scholarship prizes will be awarded. The ESA winner and winners from each participating state will be entered into our national finalists round. An overall national scholarship will be awarded, where winners will be considered to win an additional $12,000 for the first-place finalist and $3,000 for the second-place finalist.

Step 4: The first place national winner and the student’s first responder parent/guardian will be flown out to Louisville, KY and acknowledged on the Electronic Security Expo (ESX) Stage on Tuesday, June 4, where they will be presented with a check.
