Be Bold Scholarship Deadline: October 1, 2025-Amount of scholarship $25,000

The "Be Bold" Scholarship is a no-essay scholarship that will be awarded to the applicant with the boldest profile. It takes less than 2 minutes to apply.

To us, boldest does not mean "best", or "most accomplished". Being bold means being:

• Earnest

• Determined

• Moving

The scholarship will be awarded to the student whose profile is most bold, according to these characteristics.

Furthermore, the scholarship will be unique in that it will favor students who apply earlier-who are bold and seize the day without procrastinating.

Financial barriers stand between many students and their dreams, presenting an obstacle that students with family resources don’t have to worry about.

There will be three winners selected for this scholarship, each receiving a different award. First, the Gigabyte Award ($2,500) is for a student with major tuition expenses pursuing a STEM degree at a college, university, or high-cost boot camp. Next, the Megabyte Award ($1,250) is for learners pursuing STEM through non-traditional education, such as lower-cost boot camps, online certifications, or continuing education courses for professionals. Finally, the Kilobyte Award ($500) is a small but mighty boost for strong applicants who were not selected for the main awards but still show promise in STEM.

To apply, tell us about yourself, including what experiences shaped you, what drives your passion for your field, and when you have shown leadership or service. Additionally, tell us how the program you’re pursuing will help you achieve your goals and how you will use your education to make a difference. Uploading a resume and/or a letter of recommendation is optional, but encouraged.
