Scholarship Description

NetAid Global Action Awards honor high school students in the U.S. who are building a brighter future for the world’s poorest people. Honorees receive $5000 and will have a celebration in honor of their achievement.

The scholarship is available to high school students living in the U.S. who have organized and led a project that has directly impacted people in developing countries or raised awareness in their own communities about global poverty.

Honorees will be chosen by a panel of judges based on the level of innovation, cooperation, leadership, inspiration and impact displayed by their work.

Issues addressed by projects should be global in nature and may include but are not limited to: alleviating hunger; promoting human rights, children's rights or gender equity; increasing access to clean drinking water, healthcare or education; preventing and treating HIV/AIDS or other diseases; and supporting a sustainable environment.
