It’s no secret that student loans can feel intimidating. With more than one million student loans going into default every year, it can feel like there is no feasible way to pay for school. 

To help students take control of their finances, we’ve partnered with Stride Funding to create this exclusive scholarship opportunity. 

Stride Funding offers a unique, flexible alternative to typical student loans. With an Income Share Agreement (ISA) with Stride Funding, payments are proportional to income, keeping payments manageable regardless of earnings.

Stride Funding also allows borrowers to not pay anything during months in which their earnings are under the minimum income threshold. Stride Funding’s payment cap also ensures that borrowers don’t pay more than twice what they originally borrowed. 

Students who are within two years of receiving a degree in STEM, healthcare, or business programs may apply for this scholarship.

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.

The winner will be publicly announced on Aug 1, 2022. Prior to the announcement date, we may contact finalists with additional questions about their application.
