By Shubhra Mishra
The 1 for 2 Education Awareness scholarship was created for high school seniors and current college students in the US. The foundation's goal is for its scholar alumni to support future scholars' educational goals.

Application: Here. You have to write multiple essays and submit an official transcript for the first round. If you make it to the second round, interviews are held, and you are required to send two letters of recommendation.
  • List 10 activities (similar to the common app)

  • The vision of the 1 for 2 Education Foundation is to transform post-secondary education in the United States. The Foundation’s mission is to build a community of Scholars who are dedicated to being life-long learners and are committed to “pay-it-forward” by supporting the education of two additional students. Please explain how your values and goals align with the vision, mission and values of our foundation? Max 500 words.

  • Why are you committing to paying for a comparable scholarship grant for two persons, who are not related to you by blood, adoption, or marriage, during your lifetime? Max 500 words.

  • Our Scholars are goal-oriented with natural leadership tendencies. Given that you are young and are free to change your mind, and given your academic goals, discuss your short and long term goals in life. Max 500 words.

  • Our Scholars lead because the opportunity adds value to their life. Leaders are people who influence/inspire/help those around them. Please discuss how you have influenced/inspired/helped people? Max 500 words.
