The Do Something Awards Scholarship Program is annually held to honor “the nation’s best young world-changers, 25 and under.” This program awards $10,000 community grants to 5 finalists, and One Grand Prize Winner will receive a $100,000 community grant. All winners have the option of receiving $5,000 of the total money awarded in the form of an educational scholarship.
The application for this program can be found online. According to the program’s website:
Do Something Award applications are reviewed and judged by the Do Something Award Academy (comprised of former winners) and Do Something Awards team (comprised of Do Something staff) who read through every application and select semi-finalists.
Applications are due on March 1st, 2012. The Semi Finalists will be notified in mid April, while in-person interviews will be held in NYC between June 8th-12th. Finally, the Do Something Awards will be on Vh1 in late August. If you have questions, check out their FAQ page or Email dsawards@DoSomething.org. Good luck!
