In 2011, the announcement of the Embryos on Snow Award Program was made. The scholarship contest is titled “La Prix.” The sale’s commissionable proceeds, in addition to an initial sponsorship by TransOva Genetics, served as the first scholarship to be awarded. Currently LaPrix awards over $18,000 in cash awards. The program is currently funded by the commissionable proceeds from the sale and the EOS sponsors.
“La Prix” is an essay type contest that seeks to find the young people that have a great deal of ambition, knowledge and ability. The essay contest is not based on writing ability, rather on content, creativity and the future intent of a young person. An applicant may have any goal, collegiate major or career in mind.
