Eligibility

Every applicant has a living need score. Although the scoring process is algorithmic and based upon opt-in data, each applicant is required to meet the following criteria to be considered eligible for an award distribution:

• Must be accepted to an accredited university
• Must be registered for one or more technology related courses
• Must qualify for federal student aid

We are hoping to help students with strong moral character, ethical integrity, and an active interest in making the world a better place. Race, gender, gender-identity, cultural background, sexuality, and religion are not evaluated in our process.

Awards

As a completely digital foundation, our awards are distributed electronically. The identity of every applicant must be verified before they are eligible to receive a distribution. In addition, the distribution process may involve peer-to-peer payments, digital wallets, electronic fund transfers, and digital certificates. Applicants are notified electronically and maintain accurate contact information to ensure timely distribution.
