Listed below are the tasks that must be accomplished in order to apply:

Complete and submit a written report including these things:

• Description of the trip-Be sure to describe an adventurous trip. This should be at least one page including a United States Map with a line showing where you are going.  The Mystery Donor would like to get to know each person in the group a bit so she/he asks that you each write your own description.  Include a description of yourself and your involvement in the trip. Among each group they will be similar, but you should make an effort to show your own personality in the writing.

 
• Itinerary and Budget- There are five small budgets that all get combined into one group budget. Each person on your team should prepare one of the small budgets. Teams with less than five members will have to come up with a solution to getting all five budgets done. The whole group needs to collaborate on the Group Budget. There are some worksheets you may use for your budget.
• Lodging Plans and Costs
• Travel Plans and Costs
• Estimates of food Costs
• Entertainment Costs
• Equipment Needed and Costs
• Group Budget (Total of the Above)

 
• Figure out the total mileage of your trip The Mystery Donor is not concerned about how far you go. He is interested in finding out the value he will be getting from your plan. You can find out the value by dividing the amount the trip will cost by the number of miles you planned to travel.

Look here for a RUBRIC about the written application.

• Finally you will produce a video telling the Mystery Donor why your group has planned the best trip.    The whole group must be in the video and introduce themselves.  The more entertaining (for a billionaire remember!) the better.
