E-waste Scholarship

Digital Responsibility

Posted April 23, 2026

About

Are you a high school, college, or graduate student who has something to say about e-waste (any type of used electronics that are nearing the end of their useful life, and are discarded, donated or given to a recycler)? The E-waste Scholarship by Digital Responsibility could then be a good opportunity for you! The $1,000 scholarship is awarded annually to one individual who writes the most compelling 140-character message addressing the “worst thing about e-waste.” Bear in mind that finalists may be required to submit an additional 500-1,000-word essay elaborating on this topic. If this sounds up your alley, we encourage you to apply!
