CareerVillage.org is a website that students visit to get their college and career questions answered by actual working professionals. Getting guidance from people who have once been in your shoes enables you to better prepare for the future you want. We're hosting a $2,500 scholarship giveaway that will be awarded to 2 students who post one (eligible) question onto the site by November 22nd, 2024. Winners will be notified by December 5th, 2024, and will have ten days to claim their prize. 

Here's what you need to know:

  • Please read the Scholarship Rules below!

  • To participate in this scholarship giveaway, we're asking you to post one question of your own on CareerVillage.org. By posting your questions, you're not only getting personalized information, insight, and advice from industry experts, but you're surfacing the answers to questions thousands of other students like you also want to know!  

  •  You must ask college and/or career-related questions that require an answer from an actual human being! In other words, post more subjective questions. Don't post a question like "what is an architect?" because the answer can easily be found with a quick Google search. Instead, ask something like, "What was the hardest part about becoming an architect?". This is the type of question that any architect can answer, and their answers will provide you with a ton of valuable insight into what their career path was like! If you need help creating a question, email hello@careervillage.org

  • Before you post your question, it's a good idea to search CareerVillage.org first to ensure your question hasn't already been asked and answered. "Duplicate" questions usually get removed by moderators. But fear not: it's rare that two students ask for the exact same piece of advice.

  • Don't have questions? Come on; everyone has questions! Especially when it comes to your future. Here are some ideas: Ask about what it takes to get a particular job, or about a "day in the life" of a career you find interesting. Visit CareerVillage.org to get more inspiration
