"A Daring Path" No-Essay Scholarship
Most people allow their fears to stop them from creating the life that they aspire to live.
But you only have one life to live, and no one is going to live it for you. In fact, many people will project their own fears onto your journey, discouraging you from thinking and acting in daring ways.
To encourage everyone to confront their fears and live life to the fullest, the "A Daring Path" No-Essay Scholarship exists to support a bold person who wants to get the most out of this world.
The scholarship is open to all students and non-students from any field of study. The only requirement is that you’re ready to take on the world and create a life that other people dream to live.
