The Association of Rotational Molders (ARM) developed this scholarship to encourage the use of rotational molding as a tool for design and engineering students and to promote the use of the rotational molding process through both competition and education. Designs must be for a rotationally molded piece.

The scholarship is open to all students, from any recognized university or college, who are pursuing a degree in an industrial design or engineering-related field.

Complete this form and email your design. All submissions must be received by May 31, 2021 to qualify. Your submission must include drawings with sufficient views to represent the design. All designs must be original. All materials submitted shall become the property of ARM except that the design rights remain the property of the student. ARM reserves the right to publish or show all the works submitted.
