This website posts ongoing scholarship opportunities for students. This website is unique in that the scholarship opportunities involve "doing something." For example, a current scholarship opportunity on their page says, "Since April, DoSomething members have made over 30,000 DIY masks. Use our step-by-step guide to make DIY masks (no sewing required) to keep yourself, your friends, and your family healthy. Let’s Do This." Check out their website for other things you can do to be eligible for one of their many scholarships!
*Even if you are not interested in attending Mississippi College, they have a GREAT website to find outside/community-based scholarship opportunities from various law firms, companies, etc. across the U.S.!
From art and editorials to personal narratives and podcasts, a list of the 10 contests and challenges for young people we’re running this school year.
