In addition to the scholarship winners will be entered into Giva’s six-month Worldwide Community Ambassador essay program.

The essays will reflect the personal experiences, perspectives and aspirations of the winners in order to encourage and inspire others.
Your educational institution must post this scholarship announcement on their public web site so that all students at your school have an opportunity to apply. If you found Giva’s scholarship on another web site, please advise your school of our scholarship and ask them to please post it on their public web site. Otherwise, you will not be eligible.
Essays may be competitively judged in a public forum and posted anonymously on Giva’s public web site for judging so do not include private information in your essay or anything you do not want posted on the Internet.
Qualifications: All students, regardless of major, currently attending a college or university degree program either full or part-time are eligible and encouraged to apply.
