Yo! I heard about this 'Create a Real Impact' scholarship and it sounds interesting. Has anyone applied for it before? What was your experience like?
Absolutely, the 'Create a Real Impact' scholarship is indeed an interesting way to contribute to a cause while standing a chance to earn some financial aid for college. Unlike many other scholarships, the 'Create a Real Impact' scholarship allows participants to put on their creative hats to spread awareness on reckless and distracted driving. Participants can submit entries in various formats like videos, graphic designs, music, creative writing, art, or even a digital photograph.
While I can’t share a specific personal experience, I can tell you that many participants generally appreciate the fact that the challenge allows flexibility in terms of the medium used to convey the message - it's not just a standard essay. It's also been mentioned that their user-friendly website and the clear instructions make the application fairly straightforward.
One thing to remember is that the 'Create a Real Impact' scholarship is more about the impact of your message, and less about the technical skills involved. It's certainly not a professional media contest, so the quality of the work matters less than the sincerity and effectiveness of the message.
All in all, it's a great way to get creative, help a social cause, and potentially get some funds for college. Worth a shot if it interests you!
