Legacy Lab Foundation Scholarship
Scholarship Sponsored by Giving Back Fund
This year, for the eighth edition of the scholarship, The Legacy Lab Foundation will be awarding a $15,000 scholarship to a BIPOC student who represents the next-generation of legacy-makers – future leaders who are dedicating time and energy to create lasting social impact. Scholarship funds are intended as an investment in ongoing education to help a student achieve a personal ambition. In turn, scholarship funds will be paid directly to the student’s institution and can only be used toward school-related items such as tuition, books, etc.
CRITERIA
Powered by The Giving Back Fund, The Legacy Lab Foundation Scholarship is inviting applications from undergraduate, graduate, or doctoral-level students who identify as Black, Indigenous, and/or People of Color (BIPOC) who attend colleges, universities or similar accredited institutions (such as technical schools) in the United States. We are searching for a future leader studying with the intent to revolutionize an industry, challenge social norms, and/or build a long-lasting brand solution in culture. We will champion one of tomorrow’s leaders working toward making progress today.
To qualify, you must be a BIPOC student with a strong sense of personal purpose—who is studying with the intent of creating positive, enduring change. Specifically, we are asking applicants to reveal something meaningful about their ikigai (“reason for being”) by responding to these questions:
- What is your dream for a better world and what CONTRIBUTION will you make toward achieving that dream?
- Academically, what are you studying? Why have you chosen this path of study? What do you LOVE about it?
- What makes you exceptional in your chosen field of study? What is it about you that makes you GOOD at it?
- How will you apply your studies after graduation? Or how are you already applying your studies (e.g. related experience, volunteering, internships, businesses, etc.)? How will your ideas CREATE VALUE (e.g. earn money) and yield a solution, such as a business idea, that is built to last?
- Why are your intended contributions—your creative, social and/or commercial contributions post-graduation—something the world needs more of? How will your idea(s) IMPACT PEOPLE’S LIVES for the better and for the long-term?
