In 2021, #YesSheCanCampaign™ launched DISSCHOLARED™, an award-winning ed-technology platform that spreads awareness about scholarship award displacement. Our advocacy efforts inspired New Jersey to become the second state in the nation to outlaw scholarship award displacement at all public universities in New Jersey. Our advocacy inspired the federal government to introduce “The Helping Students Plan for College Act,” the first in the nation bill to address scholarship award displacement.

All tasks must be submitted every Saturday night at 11:59 p.m. New assignments will be given out on Mondays. Assignments should take no longer than 5 hours per week to complete. If volunteers would like to complete additional assignments, our organization will have a list of extra-hour opportunities available. Volunteers will also have the opportunity to request assignment extensions if a volunteer cannot complete the assignment during the scheduled week. Our organization may schedule a set time for internship/volunteer virtual networking events. We will make sure to let volunteers/interns know ahead of time of any events we plan.
