Who?
College Freshmen and above
But, I'm not in college yet!
You will be soon! Here's what the website says:
"I have not been accepted by a school yet, but I don’t want to miss out on applying for a scholarship for this year. How can I fill out the application?
Indicate on the application that you have not been accepted yet and use the costs related to the school that you expect to attend for the tuition and expense figures. If you are accepted at a school not listed on your application form, you may be asked to send us a new form (without the other materials you already submitted) with the new educational and living costs."

Why?
This scholarship is great for students interested in social activism. Plus the award can be as large as $10,000
How?
a. Three copies of your completed application form.
b. Three copies of your personal statement, which should not be longer than 1,000 words, describing your current work for social change and your specific role in building the progressive movement.
c. The original and two copies of the transcripts of your previous academic work. If your transcript is in an “official” sealed envelope, you do not need to order additional copies. Simply open the envelope and make two copies to send along with the original.
d. The original and two copies of signed letters of support from two people able to evaluate your political work and your contribution to the progressive movement. These do not have to be in sealed envelopes. However, if a recommender wants to submit a sealed recommendation, ask him or her to give you three copies.
e. Three copies of the Student Aid Report (SAR). If you are not eligible for US federal financial aid, please include a brief explanation and verification of income and expenses. (See the section on Financial Information — FAQs 58 and 59.)
f. One recent glossy passport-like color portrait photograph of you alone, suitable for reproduction for publicity purposes if you are selected to receive a grant. Place the photograph in an envelope with your name clearly marked on the back of the photograph and on the outside of the envelope. Do not use staples or paperclips to attach the photograph.
g. All the information we need in order to reach you by phone or email in May and June if we have any questions about your application.
