Volunteer Scholarships

November is the ideal time for community service. Thanksgiving reminds us to give back to others, you’re conveniently on holiday break from school and it’s great for your college applications.


Plus, community service offers a wide range of activities which you can do with the family, bringing you closer together.


As if that’s not enough incentive to spend your extra time volunteering, many scholarship providers seek to reward students who spend their time giving back to their communities with scholarship funding to help pay for school.


Check out the following scholarship opportunities for students involved in volunteering and find out how giving back to your community is actually beneficial to you as well!
