2019 Side Hustlin' Student Scholarship Finalists

side hustle scholarship opportunity

​We're proud to offer an annual scholarship of $2,000 to new and current college students. We will also offer a runner-up scholarship of $500. 

​The goal of the scholarship ​is to recognize and award individuals who are both pursing higher education while working hard to achieve their dreams financially. We want to hear about the creative and passionate ways that individuals are working towards their dreams - both literally and figuratively.

This scholarship is not about how much money someone is earning at their side hustle. In fact, little consideration will be given to that. It doesn't matter if your side hustle is earning $100 or $100,000. What matters is your effort, thought process, and goals. We want to know your story. Learn more about the detailed requirements here.

The scholarship winner and runner up will be selected on July 31, 2019 by the article that generates the most "buzz", as determined by website traffic it receives. Applicants are encouraged to generate support for their story through friends and family. Top entrants attract influencers to share their story. Remember, this scholarship is about hustle, so entrants are encouraged to show off their marketing skills.

Note: The scholarship will return in 2020, with entries eligible starting January 1, 2020.
