Beyond School Walls Scholarship
Offered by Delete Cyberbullying
About This Scholarship
Delete Cyberbullying, a stop-online-harassment project, runs three $1,000 scholarships on a rotating calendar, and the Beyond School Walls Scholarship is the one closing this fall. The award recognizes students who can speak to how harassment follows students beyond campus through social media — and what can be done about it.
The application is straightforward: an online form plus a written statement, judged on creativity, content, and commitment to ending cyberbullying. With a broad eligibility pool — high schoolers, college students, and graduate students attending or planning to attend an accredited U.S. college — this is an accessible award for students who care about online safety, digital citizenship, or mental health advocacy.
If you miss the October deadline, the same organization's Social Media Scholarship closes February 28, 2027, and its Mental Health Awareness Scholarship closes June 30, 2027, each also worth $1,000, so a strong statement can be adapted across all three cycles.
