BALTIMORE, Dec. 6, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- GoBestVPN is pleased to announce a new scholarship for college and university students. The Scholarship for Freedom and Innovation will be awarded to students who demonstrate that they have an understanding of the goal of cybersecurity efforts in the modern world. Successful applicants will also be capable of identifying the role GoBestVPN plays in achieving a safer internet. This scholarship will be available to all students who pass the scholarship criteria and eligibility requirements. The submission period is now open until May 10, 2019 (the winner will be notified privately before being announced on May 20, 2019).
GoBestVPN believes in giving back to the community in different ways. Apart from sensitizing internet users to cybersecurity risks, the company also takes part in solving the normal challenges that internet users face on a daily basis. The dedicated staff of GoBestVPN constantly battles various IT threats but also engages directly with the community – empowering the younger generation to continue the fight against web insecurity and cyber threats. This scholarship is seen as yet another way for GoBestVPN to achieve the desirable goal of making the web a safer place. In a world in which community ties are weakening, this innovation scholarship is one means of giving back – of building a stronger society.
In order to win the scholarship, applicants will be required to submit a 1,500-word original essay about cybersecurity, internet freedom, innovation, combating censorship or privacy rights. The student must also be enrolled in any college or university within the United States of America. Only students who are legal US citizens will be allowed to participate in the scholarship. The student will also be required to have attained a cumulated weighted GPA of at least 3.0. High school students, international students, temporary students and those who are family members or friends of GoBestVPN staff will not be considered.
The winner of the scholarship will be contacted via email. An appropriate response will be required within 14 days of that communication. If a response is not received within the said period, then the scholarship will pass on to the next best candidate. The winner will receive a prize of $2,500. This award may be used by the winning student for school-related expenses in the best way they deem possible.
"Dear Students, you are all unique in your own way – those of you who are reading this letter are well on your way to solving real-world problems. I was once where you are right now. There is no easy way. But there are people along the way who can make the journey a bit easier, a little more fun, and more rewarding. Although we will only select one winner for the GoBestVPN Scholarship for Freedom and Innovation, I wish to continue to keep this program active in the years to come. I wish you all the best" reads part of the letter to applicants from Jamie Cambell, cybersecurity analyst and GoBestVPN.com webmaster.
GoBestVPN will be honored to award the successful student with the scholarship. The judging process will be done fairly and only students who demonstrate creativity, originality and a deep understanding of content and value within the cybersecurity sector of the IT industry will be considered for the scholarship.
