DISSCHOLARED Website Terms and Conditions: Help protect a youth-led organization IP!
Help protect a youth-led organization intellectual property
Posted February 25, 2023
Background & Context
DISSCHOLARED™ is an ed-tech program and platform powered by YesSheCanCampaign™ that helps students and families understand universities' and colleges' private scholarship policies and the practice of scholarship award displacement. Scholarship award displacement is one of the root causes contributing to the student loan debt crisis. Need-based recipients cannot use their private scholarship funds to fund their gap after federal, state, and institutional aid, as intended by private scholarship donors, causing many students to borrow more or drop out of college. Our goal is to ensure students and families will be able to make informed college and financial decisions. We are working to dismantle scholarship award displacement nationwide. Five states have outlawed this practice (MD, NJ, PA, WA, and CA). There is currently a federal bipartisan bill called The Helping Students Plan for College Act that addresses scholarship award displacement nationwide. According to a nationally representative survey conducted by Student Beans, at least 50% of U.S. college students who receive private scholarships experience scholarship displacement. This prevents students from making full use of the scholarships they have earned.
Immediate Problem
We need help with our website terms and conditions to ensure our intellectual property is protected, as well as other legal issues.
Work & Deliverables
Volunteer Lawyers will help with drafting the DISSCHOLARED website terms and conditions to help protect our intellectual property.
