Our Diamonds Do Good Scholarship
The Diamonds Do Good scholarship was created to spark a drive for community service in seniors in the Bryan/College Station area and to help hardworking students pay for their college expenses. This scholarship was just created in 2022, and our first scholarship winner will be announced in April 2023. To qualify for the scholarship,students must currently be a senior and attend public, private or homeschool within the Bryan and College Station city boundaries and have been accepted to Blinn College or Texas A&M University College Station Campus for the fall of 2023 school year. Students must also be seeking an Associate’s or Bachelor’s Degree.
Service Project Requirements
In addition to the above requirements, students must also complete a community service project. This service project should focus on meeting our communities’ needs and creating a lasting impact.

- Summarize the lasting impact of the service project
Once the service project is completed, students should go ahead and submit their scholarship application! To submit your application, students must:
- Submit the application form
- Submit a document that identifies the community needs the service project aims to address, the steps taken to plan the project, and post-project evaluation.
- Submit a 5-minute video showing the service project’s planning, execution, and evaluation process. This video should be submitted via a YouTube link.
