  • Scholarship Program Awards will be paid directly to the appropriate office at the Program Award recipient’s academic institution and may be used only to pay tuition and mandatory fees for the academic semester in which the scholarship is awarded or the immediately following academic semester.

Eligibility

You may participate in the Program if you are a graduating or graduated high school senior in the class of 2020  who is registered to attend college in the 2020-2021 academic year at an accredited institution.

Applicants must also provide either proof of enrollment at their academic institution and must be at least 18 years of age and of the age of majority in their state of residence to apply. You must be a resident of the United States to apply.

Individuals who are related to or affiliated with Sponsor or Netflix (“Netflix”) (including any of their respective employees, officers or directors, their parents, affiliates and subsidiaries, or any of their respective agencies or promotion entities, or family/household members of any of the foregoing) (the “Entities”) are not eligible to participate in the Program or for a Program Award. Void where prohibited and subject to all applicable federal, state, local, and municipal laws and regulations.

Application

To participate, applicants must complete the full Program Award application at www.myscholly.com/13reasonswhy (“Website”) and provide the award selection committee with all of the information required in the application or by the committee (in each round of the selection process), including, but not limited to, institutional enrollment (present or past), written statement, and personal information verification.

Applicants are not required to sign up for a Scholly account. By submitting a Program Award application, applicants opt-in and consent to receive emails and/or text messages relating to the Program and with more information about upcoming scholarships, Scholly events, news and updates.

Entry

The application process will be open and accepting applicants beginning 6:00AM May 18, 2020 and ending 11:59PM June 10, 2020. For purposes of these Terms and Conditions, all times and days are Pacific Time. Sponsor’s computer is the official time keeping device for this Program, and the awarding of the Program Award is subject to the eligibility and forfeiture provisions set forth herein. The dates and times set forth herein are subject to change in the sole discretion of the Sponsor. In the event of any change, notice of the revised date or time will be posted on the Website.

Selection

A selection committee comprised of individuals selected by the Sponsor will determine the number of Program Awards that will be made as a scholarship.

Selection of Program Award recipients will be made through a process determined by the selection committee that includes the stages described in this paragraph. First, applicants will be required to complete an initial application, which will include, among other things, personal identifiers such as grade level and residency. After completion of the initial application, applicants will be provided the opportunity to submit an essay. Next, the selection committee will select a cohort of applicants, who will be required to complete a second round application which will include, among other things, verification of the applicant’s academic enrollment. The last stage of the selection process may include a telephone, video or in-person interview, at the discretion of the selection committee. Sponsor will notify the second round applicants of their selection by email and Program Award recipients by email, text message, and a subsequent phone call. After the essays have been reviewed and interviews have been completed, the selection committee will select up to ten (10) participants who will receive a Program Award.

The committee’s selection will be based on an evaluation of the participants’ essay responses, interviews, need and other criteria that the committee determines following the end date of the initial grant application and each round of the selection process. A Scholly subscription is not required to be selected as a Program Award recipient, nor does an applicant’s subscription status affect the likelihood of being awarded.

Applicants will not advance to any round of selection if the applicant is disqualified as a result of the applicant submitting an incomplete or untrue application, not meeting enrollment criteria, not complying with these Terms and Conditions, or not satisfying any other conditions established by the selection committee or the Sponsor.

Recipients

The Participants selected to receive Program Awards (“Recipients”) will be notified by the Sponsor on or about July 10, 2020.

Payment(s) will be made in the maximum amount of up to $5,000 each (not to exceed the Recipient’s applicable tuition and fees) directly to the academic institution.

Recipients are required to make all payments in respect of their tuition/fees by Sponsor of the Program Award. Sponsor will not be liable under any circumstances for any lapse or late payment or fees in respect of a Recipient’s tuition/fees or student loans.
