Detail
The Make Me Laugh Scholarship is a fun, lighthearted award for students who want to take a break from traditional scholarship essays. This $1,500 scholarship gives students the chance to submit a short, humorous story or anecdote—fact or fiction—that shows off their funny bone.
Eligibility:
- Must be 14 years of age or older at the time of application.
- Must be a legal U.S. resident.
- Must reside in one of the 50 United States or the District of Columbia.
- Must be currently enrolled (or plan to enroll no later than Fall 2026) in an accredited post-secondary institution of higher education.
Application:
- Submit an online written response (250 words or less) to the following prompt:
- "OMG.. finding and applying for scholarships is serious business, but it's time to lighten things up a little. We don't want to know why you deserve $1,500 or how great your grades are, we simply want to LOL. Describe an incident in your life, funny or embarrassing (fact or fiction), and make us laugh!"
