Travel with a Purpose Scholarship
Anne Frank once said, “How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.”
With the countless problems that the world faces, it is important to encourage the next generation of students to pay it forward and give back. Sometimes it seems that there are more problems than there are solutions, but the solutions can start with each individual person.
The Travel with a Purpose Scholarship seeks to support a student who cares about the problems facing the world and who has the drive to pay it forward in practical ways. Students are encouraged to apply if they are currently in their senior year of high school or enrolled in undergraduate school.
To apply, create a video that explains what problem you would choose to tackle if you could travel for 6 months and focus on solving a specific problem.
