Winning Application

June Griffin
University of California-IrvineSanta Clarita, CA
I deserve this scholarship so that I can invest this money in my start-up business, whose mission is to destroy peers' college careers. Education is clearly a scam to distract us from the fact that the moon is not real, reptiles run every government, and trees are actually portals to our home dimension. This crucial message of TRUTH needs your funding. Help me free us all. My academic and career goals are to further my business, College Corruptors Incorporated: Clearly not a Cult. I was inspired by a fever dream to undermine the concept of education and replace it with liberty and much-needed revolution. Just last year, over 19.4 billion students attended colleges and universities. I will liberate the delusional masses. I do not measure my academic goals in terms of degrees, but rather outdated, biased social media articles. One time, I gathered the courage to present my thesis on the Educational Epidemic in a shady alley to several stray cats and one bystander. As a demonstration, I ran full force at a tree to try to achieve the very specific velocity at which interdimensional travel is possible. I failed and severely injured my left ring toe. Despite this devastating humiliation, I've continued to work on my public speaking skills.
