This year, you had to indicate on the common app that you were going to apply for it, and then had to send a separate application essay to the admissions committee by February 14. This was the question they asked:

“If you would like to be considered for a scholarship in science and mathematics, please write a brief essay on the following topic: Discuss your interests in science and/or mathematics, the experience(s) that sparked those interests, and what you have done to pursue them."

The interesting thing about the Porter scholarship is you don’t need to be a math or science major to qualify.
