Students may apply by answering an essay question online. In the essay, students describe what they are passionate about learning and what their plan is to increase their knowledge. This may include plans for college, travel, internships, and other activities they feel will help them learn. The description should also include how they plan to spend the scholarship money.
Applications will be judged on the quality of content and presentation on answering the essay question and completing the student profile. The final winners are chosen by a scholarship committee and will be notified through email.
The scholarship is sponsored by Degreed, a San Francisco-based start-up company, that provides a free online service that tracks, scores and validates all of a student's educational experiences. The company believes that learning does not stop with a college degree but is a combination of formal plus other forms of lifelong education. System users can input their learning from all education sources to build their overall degree score through credit hours and experiential learning levels.
The deadline for this scholarship is usually in NOVEMBER of each year, and the award amount is usually $1,000 .
