How many Bezos Scholars will be selected?
12 student scholars and 12 educator scholars from the U.S. Bezos Student Scholars are selected through a competitive process to receive a seven-day, all-expenses-paid scholarship to participate in the 2012 Aspen Ideas Festival (dates to be announced). Educator scholars are nominated by the school principal, and invited to attend if the student is selected. Principals may attend the festival, or nominate teachers, lead administrators, guidance counselors and curriculum coordinators to attend as Educator Scholars.
