1000 Bold Points No-Essay Scholarship
This no-essay scholarship is awarded to students with the boldest profiles. Students must have earned 1000+ Bold Points to be eligible.
To us, boldest does not mean “best”, or “most accomplished”. Being bold means being:
- Earnest
- Determined
- Moving
The scholarship will be awarded to the student whose profile is most bold, according to these characteristics.
Furthermore, the scholarship will be unique in that it will favor students who apply earlier—who are bold and seize the day without procrastinating.
Students at any education level, school, field of study, and GPA will be considered.

If the award is for a qualified educational non-tuition expense, we will work with the winner directly to distribute the award and make sure it goes towards qualified expenses.
