The Jet Future Business Leaders Scholarship celebrates creative thinkers who are interested in the future of business, finance, and entrepreneurship.
Prize: One $1,000 scholarship
Prompt: Use an AI tool of your choice to create a 3-panel comic strip explaining how surety works.
Business concepts can sometimes feel complicated, but the best leaders know how to explain complex ideas in simple and engaging ways. This scholarship challenges students to demonstrate both business understanding and creativity by using artificial intelligence to create a short comic strip explaining the concept of surety bonds.
Applicants will generate a 3-panel comic strip using AI that clearly and creatively explains what a surety bond is and how it works. The comic should be easy to understand for someone with little to no background or knowledge of surety.
Deadline: July 31st, 2026
