The Funding College Project, and Cash for Kids are non-commercial activity, have been asked to supply to individuals, organizations, newspapers, and community bulletin boards serving the area information about active awards and scholarships and insightful advice.
We have moved to publishing our SCHOLARSHIP and AWARD documents in an electronic format which can be found at: www.educatingouryouth.org
While sharing the concern that many of the resources may be lost. The interaction between students and teaching staff may be felt for years to come.
We live in an extraordinarily complex world, where individuals and organization have come together to assist students to achieve and be successful, today, and always.
As schools have been forced to embrace remote learning during the pandemic, teachers and students alike have found ways to adapt to the new normal. And as schools plan for the fall semester, many are turning to online learning because students and teachers may not be together in their schools and buildings.
We have discovered that none of the online scholarship databases includes information about college scholarships that are available only to children under age 13 because of federal privacy laws. The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA), 15 USC 6501, and the Children’s Privacy Protection Final Rule, require web sites to obtain “verifiable parental consent” before collecting, using, or disclosing individually identifiable information from children under age 13. This effectively prevents online scholarship databases from matching students under age 13 with college scholarships. Because of the difficulties in obtaining consent, most of the scholarship databases avoid the problem by omitting scholarships for underage children from their databases and refusing to register users under age 13 years old.
STUDENTCAM is C-SPAN’s annual national video documentary competition that encourages students to think critically about issues that affect our communities and our nation. This year students in grades 6-12 are asked to create a short (5-6 minute) video documentary on a topic related to the competition theme, “Explore the issue you most want the president and new Congress to address in 2021.”
With cash prizes totaling $100,000 each year, C-SPAN awards prizes to the top 150 student documentaries, and over 50 teacher advisers. Since 2004, C-SPAN has awarded over $1 million dollars in cash prizes to past-winning students and teachers. Official launch of the 2021 StudentCam competition.

EVERYDAY YOUNG HERO AWARDS – Everyday Young Heroes are young people, ages 5-25, who are improving their communities through service to others and making significant progress in achieving the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Each week, the YSA Team selects one young person to receive this honor. The chosen youth can have a project that is developed in or outside of the classroom, in conjunction with an organization or religious institution, or can be an initiative or organization they started on his or her own or with their friends. Projects can provide a direct service, be philanthropic, or raise awareness or advocacy around a particular community need.
The young person and their nominator are notified via email upon being selected as an Everyday Young Hero. The Hero receives a congratulatory letter, a certificate of recognition, and is highlighted in YSA’s newsletter and on social media, raising the profile of his or her good work.
If you know an Everyday Young Hero, submit your nomination here. ysa.org/awards/eyh/
