How will scholarship application information be used?

Your privacy is a top priority on the Bold.org platform, and you can find our privacy policy in full here. You may opt out of communications from Bold.org at any time, and unless we’ve first notified you and gotten your consent, you’ll never receive communication from any third parties related to personal information you give us.

When will the scholarship winner be chosen? How will they be notified?

The winner will be publicly announced on Oct 15, 2021. Prior to the announcement date, we may contact finalists with additional questions about their application.
