Bold.org's $25,000 "Be Bold" No-Essay Scholarship
In one of the more unique scholarships we found when putting this list together, Bold.org is offering a $25,000 scholarship to the applicant with the––wait for it––boldest application. You may be wondering, "what does that even mean?" given Bold.org isn't asking for an essay. Here's what they believe goes into a bold application:
"To us, boldest does not mean 'best', or 'most accomplished'. Being bold means being: earnest, determined, [and] moving. The scholarship will be awarded to the student whose profile is most bold, according to these characteristics.
"Furthermore, this scholarship will be similar to the many easy scholarships available on Bold.org in that it will favor students who apply earlier—who are bold and seize the day without procrastinating."
As a Concept-network student, we know you are ambitious and bold. Make sure to apply for this scholarship!
