Bold.org Kindness Matters No-Essay Scholarship
“You cannot do kindness too soon, for you never know how soon it will be too late.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson
Kindness is the pathway to a better world.
Everyone, regardless of their circumstances, is struggling with something.
While you may not be able to understand or solve another person's problems, you can often make a difference with the smallest of gestures. Something as simple as a genuine smile or a friendly greeting can go a long way if given to someone at the right time.
As one small way to promote more kindness in the world, the Bold.org Kindness Matters No-Essay Scholarship exists to support someone who is committed to spreading more kindness in the world.
The scholarship is open to all students and non-students from any field of study. The only requirement is that you believe in the power of kindness to be an immensely positive force in the world.
