“When eating fruit, remember the one who planted the tree.” - Vietnamese Proverb

It’s important to be thankful for the life you have and for those people who make it special. 

Showing gratitude expresses to those closest to you that you care for them and the things they do to make your life better.

People who count their blessings also have better physical and psychological health relative to those who aren’t as grateful.

The Giving Thanks Scholarships exists to celebrate the spirit of giving and gratitude. 

To apply for the scholarship, submit a picture of you and someone for which you’re thankful. With the picture, please also include a short story, poem, or essay that describes what makes this person such an important part of your life. 

Bold.org will be awarding a scholarship each day in November to celebrate National Scholarship Month. Follow along on Bold.org's Instagram and TikTok for daily announcements of scholarships and winners!
