TechWaste Recycling launches scholarship program for electronics recycling

TechWaste Recycling, an electronics recycling firm based in Santa Ana, California, has launched the TechWaste Recycling Scholarship Program. The program is designed for college and high school students to increase awareness of electronics recycling.

To apply, students must write an essay or create a video reflecting the current TechWaste Recycling Scholarship theme. Students must post their essays on a website like Medium, WordPress or to the school's website. Alternatively, a video entry can be shared publicly on YouTube or another video-sharing website.

According to a news release from TechWaste, the theme of the TechWaste Recycling Scholarship for this year is "How do you make an impact in your community with E-Waste Recycling?" Porgram participants must be a high school senior or college student of any major; be a U.S. citizen, green-card holder or hold any visa or be a foreign citizen living in the United States; and not be an employee or a family member of an employee of TechWaste Recycling and its affiliates.

After the essay or video is posted, students need to send the link using the form here. The deadline for submission is April 15, 2023, and three winners will be announced April 22, 2023. The winners will receive  $1000 and a laptop.  

TechWaste Recycling Inc. says it believes increasing awareness about electronic material recycling bears the enormous potential to initiate environmental change. The company says students will play an essential role in shaping the world's future. By engaging with their community through electronic material recycling, students can help build a cleaner environment. Through the scholarship, TechWaste Recycling says it hopes to encourage students to be conscious and be part of the enormous work needed to limit climate change.
