IT PAYS TO DO GOOD

1. Sign up for a DoSomething scholarship-eligible action.

2. Complete all the steps in the action!

3. Submit and share your reportback that showcases your incredible community impact.

4. Be sure to check out the Scholarship FAQs listed on each scholarship-eligible action for more specific information on eligibility, the selection process and Official Rules!

We offer the opportunity to earn scholarships by completing a scholarship-eligible volunteer, social change, or civic action. You are eligible for our scholarships if you are between the ages of 13 and 25 years old and live in the U.S. (or are a U.S. citizen, but living abroad). We never require an essay, GPA, or recommendation to apply.

Scholarship money is sent directly to the school of your choice. It can only be used on costs incurred directly from a post-high school, higher education program, for example, community college, college, university, or trade school, that are listed on the itemized tuition bill. Basically, anything that your post-high school institution directly charges you for is eligible to be covered by your DoSomething.org scholarship. This includes tuition, classes, activity fees, room/board, etc. We cannot send scholarship money directly to a student.

DoSomething scholarship winners are selected using predetermined judging criteria. Be sure to review our Scholarship Contest Official Rules before entering any contest.

When you are selected for a DoSomething scholarship, you have through the age of 25 to redeem and use the award. Once you turn 26, any remaining funds will be forfeited back to DoSomething.org.
