Scholarship Description
As incoming college juniors and seniors look to their future after graduation, they don't often get the chance to look back and consider what they might have done differently. At DASH TWO we'd like to encourage students to think about how they might have used social media differently during their first years in college. So we're offering a $1000 scholarship for the best essay by a college student on that very topic.
For many students social media offers a way to make new friends and take a break from their studies. Some even use social networks to establish professional connections and enter the business world before graduating. Unfortunately sometimes social media can also lead to interrupted studying, unwanted drama and the destruction of one's reputation.
We hope our essay writing contest can be an opportunity for juniors and seniors to consider how they might have used social media differently but not just for the sake of reminiscing. Looking back on social media usage in one's early college years can be a way of using social media more effectively before leaving college. In addition, improving how one uses social media can be a boon as one enters the workplace and seeks new contacts while avoiding old mistakes.
