The Thoughtful Panda College Scholarship

Born from kindness and the belief that small acts matter, this low-barrier award helps ease the cost of college essentials—books, lab fees, parking, uniforms, and more! In order to assist as many students as possible, this one-time award will not exceed $2,500 per student.

The application opened on June 1 and runs through August 31. It can be downloaded from the website at www.thoughtfulpanda.org or requested via email at thoughtfulpandainc@gmail.com.

Scholarship recipients will be notified no later than September 12, 2026. The award will be paid directly to the student. This scholarship is for the Spring 2027 semester. If requirements are met, requests to use funds for winter mini-mester are considered.

The Thoughtful Panda is a Maryland-based 501(c)3 organization. For more information, visit www.thoughtfulpanda.org.
