The Real You: $1,000 for Sharing What Makes You, You

What if winning a scholarship didn’t require writing an essay, listing your GPA, or trying to sound like someone you’re not?

This one’s different.

The Real You Scholarship is all about celebrating the unique mix of passions, habits, quirks, and dreams that make you exactly who you are. No filters. No pressure. Just real talk.

We’ve crafted 12 questions designed to help you reflect on the things you love, how you spend your time, what matters to you, and where you’re headed next. From your favorite brands to your weirdest hobbies, we want to hear it all — and we promise, there are no wrong answers.

🎯 Why? Because the future shouldn’t belong to the loudest résumé — it should belong to the most authentic voices. And we think yours deserves to be heard.

"I was so excited to start the journey of my college career, but every semester was a struggle to meet the funds as I hastily applied for scholarships. The FELDCO Windows, Sliding and Doors Scholarship finally allowed me to get through this semester, without being overly stressed about money."
