Global STEM Tournament - Phase 2 Charitable Support Model

Executive Overview

• Phase: Second Phase
• Eligibility: Students who have not graduated high school and are under 20 on the official start date.
• Format: Multi-game tournament across math, science, memory, language, civics, geography, and related academic events.
• Entry Model: Designed for broad access with a low-cost entry structure and a scholarship/free-access track.
• Mission: Use competition to fund education, reward excellence, and grow an international student community.
• Registration: Not open yet.

Why This Matters

This model is meant to give charitable partners a bold, easy-to-understand education story: a large, credible prize fund tied to academic excellence, student opportunity, and a platform built for broad participation rather than narrow exclusivity.

ExamGiant remains a commercial platform in this model. The charitable path is simply an additional funding option for partners who want their support routed through a mission-driven structure.

Prize Fund Framework

The headline concept is a large initial prize fund supported by charitable giving and then expanded by participation, partner matching, and additional donations. A $1,000,000 launch fund is one example, but the structure could begin at a different level depending on the donor or foundation.

In this model, a donor can seed the tournament with a major charitable commitment while the public sees a prize structure that can keep growing as more students join.

For charitable events, donations would be intended to flow through Group 36 as the charity partner. Group 36's charity-side expenses would stay capped at 20% overall, and ExamGiant would receive only a small platform fee within that structure for providing the competition technology and support.

• Seed commitment example: $1,000,000 charitable launch fund.
• Growth concept: Participation and matching campaigns can increase the visible pool beyond the first million as the event gains traction.
• Use of funds: Student prizes, educational awards, scholarships, operations, and access support for underserved students.

Why the Charitable Support Model Works

• Public good: Donors support education and student opportunity rather than investor profit.
• Marketing value: Founding donors can be credited publicly as education champions.
• Expansion path: Each new funding round can increase both participation access and prize ambition.
• Illustrative growth idea: A $1,000,000 starting fund can be paired with milestone-based growth campaigns so the pool can move to $2,000,000 and then $4,000,000 as later benchmarks are met.

Illustrative Prize Structure

• Grand awards: Major student prizes and scholarship-style awards.
• College grants: Larger awards can be structured as education grants, such as $10,000 prizes released when a student is accepted into an eligible college or postsecondary program.
• Category awards: Subject champions for math, memory, science, and language.
• Alternative educational prizes: Students can also receive educational technology, laptops, robotics kits, or similar learning tools if a college-focused grant is not the best fit.
• Access awards: Travel, devices, and education grants for disadvantaged participants.
• School recognition: Optional school/team honors tied to aggregate performance.

Subjects (Draft)

Planned multi-subject structure may include:

1. Memory
2. Math fundamentals and advanced math modules
3. Science
4. Geography
5. History and Civics
6. Language/English modules

Final subject lineup may change before launch.
