This national scholarship program offers 100% scholarships for AI certifications to top performers and culminates in a national hackathon with a significant prize pool.
The USAII AI NextGen Challenge 2026 is a national initiative designed to empower high school, undergraduate, and graduate students with AI education, global certifications, and innovation opportunities. The program culminates in a National AI Hackathon where top students form teams to solve real-world problems using AI. Participants will gain hands-on learning experience, mentorship, and networking opportunities, along with pathways to internships with top global employers. The challenge aims to bridge the gap between academia and the fast-growing AI job market, aligning with the White House AI Workforce Development Framework and the National AI Strategy 2024. Students will develop future-ready AI skills, an innovation mindset, and career potential in artificial intelligence.
A typical day for selected hackathon participants would involve collaborating in teams of five to develop AI solutions for real-world problems, guided by mentors and industry experts.
This program is best for American students in grades 9-12, undergraduates, and graduate students who are interested in STEM or technology and have a willingness to learn AI, regardless of prior experience.
