The Flavor of the Month scholarship is exactly as light as it sounds. Run by Unigo to mark National Ice Cream Month, it asks one playful question and pays $1,500 to the best answer. It is a genuinely easy award to enter, which makes it a smart filler alongside bigger applications.<\/p>\n

\n
Quick answer<\/div>\n
The Flavor of the Month scholarship from Unigo awards $1,500 to one U.S. student, aged 14 or older, for a short essay (around 250 words) answering which ice cream flavor you would be and why. It is open to current or future college, university, or trade-school students, the award is non-renewable, and the deadline is 31 July.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Core eligibility and award details<\/h2>\n

One winner receives $1,500, paid by cheque to the accredited institution the recipient attends once enrolment is proven. The essay prompt plays on the idea that people are like ice cream: some nutty, some exotic, some comforting. It is part of Unigo’s rotating series of monthly, single-essay scholarships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The award is part of Unigo’s rotating series of monthly single-essay scholarships, timed to National Ice Cream Month in July. The prize is paid by cheque to the accredited institution the winner attends, once enrolment is proven, so the funds support education rather than going directly to the student. Unigo itself is an established scholarship network with millions of members.<\/p>\n

Deadlines and timeline<\/h2>\n

The award runs annually with a 31 July deadline, fitting National Ice Cream Month in July. Only online entries are accepted. Because the date is fixed and the prompt rarely changes, you can write the essay well ahead of time and submit when the cycle opens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
