Using Additional Content in The Road Ahead: New Driver Preparedness Scholarship Videos
Students have the opportunity to use copyright-free video materials to supplement their scripts. However, the scholarship selection committee will not consider videos created with AI. Likewise, students should not use AI to change their voices, write their scripts, or make fake actors for their videos.
Students can also use media editing tools to create clean cuts or add effects to their videos. However, the scholarship selection committee will not judge the value of a video based on a student’s editing skills but rather on the quality of their script and presentation.
