Thank you for serving as ASB President! Show us the difference you've made for others on your campus and in your community.
Scholarship or Service Project? Here's the difference
▶ You are here: Kiwanis $5,000 Scholarship
About you as a servant leader. Tell the bigger story of who you have served and how you will keep serving. The scholarship goes toward your college education.
$1,000 Service Project Challenge
About one project. Walk us through a single project your ASB led, from the need you saw to the results. The $1,000 goes to your school's ASB.
You can enter both! Both winners will be invited to speak at the Annual Kiwanis San Diego Giving Day in April 2027. Each one has its own video and its own form. Make sure you use the right Submit button.
How to Submit (3 easy steps)
- Record a video, 90 seconds or less, that answers:
1. Who did you serve? Tell us about a group of people at your school or in your community who needed something, and what you noticed.
2. What did you do, and who did you bring with you? Describe what you led and how you got other students involved.
3. What changed for them? Share real results, such as people helped, funds raised, or something that's still going after you leave.
4. Close with one sentence: How will you keep serving others after high school?
Judges score on the difference made for others, not on titles or awards. Please keep your video to 90 seconds or less. Videos over 90 seconds will have points deducted. - Upload your video to YouTube and copy the link. You can set it to Unlisted so only people with the link can see it.
- Click the gold Submit Your Scholarship Video button and fill out the short form with your name, school, email, phone and YouTube link. That's it, you're submitted!
Your submission is not complete until your YouTube link is submitted in the form.
