Use of Artificial Intelligence Policy

Our application requires that students provide a brief explanation as to why they would be a good recipient of our scholarships. The use of generative AI tools (e.g., Chat GPT, Dall-e, etc.) is permitted for the following activities:

• Brainstorming and refining your ideas.
• Drafting an outline to organize your thoughts.
• Checking grammar and style.

The use of generative AI tools is not permitted for the following activities:

• Using the tool to compose content.
• Writing a draft of the explanation paragraph.
• Writing entire sentences, paragraphs, or other content for your application

Your use of AI tools must be properly documented and cited. You are responsible for the information you submit based on an AI query (for instance, that it does not violate intellectual property laws, or contain misinformation or unethical content). Any explanation paragraph that is found to have used generative AI tools in unauthorized ways will be disqualified.
