Passionate middle school and high school students who are really into science or social sciences may now apply for the LifeSmart Scholarship. LifeSmart Education focuses on students who are deeply committed to learning and displaying initiative. Academic excellence is not a key factor; rather, we want to help create that excellence. The scholarship offers these students an opportunity to develop into active, globally oriented thinkers who are ready to make an impact. Applicants must have an interest in science or social sciences, demonstrate diligent effort in their work, and actively participate in community services and other volunteer activities to help those in need. Applicants must be high school and middle school students who are interested in pursuing science or social sciences. Once again, we would like to emphasize that academic excellence is not the sole factor we look at. Instead, we will look at your interests and how you are expanding and developing these interests. This can include books you're reading, material you're writing, or any projects you're working on. To apply, applicants must submit a personalized statement. After they submit this statement, applicants will be sent an email from LifeSmart Education with one or two customized essay questions based on their personal statement. Please visit the scholarship's website for more information.
