Following its pledge to provide 1 million meals to Feeding America, the What Do You Meme team is setting its sights on another issue: student debt.
The game company partnered with the Scholly app to offer a total of $30,000 in scholarships to high school seniors and undergraduate college students.
“What Do You Meme may look like we’re all fun and games, but as a team of forward thinkers and creatives, we know the critical importance of education. With so many of our friends and customers confronting the challenge of student debt in the wake of COVID-19, we have decided to partner with Scholly to do our part to help,” the What Do You Meme team said in a statement.
The scholarship application will ask students to provide a short-form essay on the value of a joke.
In 300 words or less, applicants must share a joke that resonates with them and explain why they believe that the joke is great.
Applications for scholarships will be accepted through Friday, June 26 via this link.
