Scholarship for students below 13 years of age

Introduction

Wondering whether children below 13 years of age qualify for scholarships? Yes they do. Among the wide range of scholarship schemes present, some of them are specifically constituted to encourage students below 13 years of age. Information about such scholarships is not widely available over the net because of federal policy. The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA), 15 USC 6501, and the Children’s Privacy Protection Final Rule requires the websites to get certain parental verification and consent before disclosing and using any individual information pertaining to children below 13 years of age. This rather makes it difficult for both the parents and children in obtaining details about these scholarships.

Different kinds of Scholarships

A variety of scholarships are offered to students below 13 years of age. These scholarships are based on activities, interests, games, education, research and certain thought provoking topics like participation in environmental activities,
volunteerism, community service, solutions to societal issues from science and technology, student journalism, creativity, invention, arts & craft, mathematics, literature, service projects, food, reading and writing competitions, oratorical contest, spelling contest, drawing and painting, engineering, geography and the list goes on.
