scholarship applications are CURRENTLY closed.
Thank you for your interest in the Proof to Product scholarship program.
Giving back is one of our core values through time, knowledge, and (when we can) financial scholarships.
Scholarship applications are currently closed, but we offer one full-tuition scholarship for each round of Paper Camp. To be notified when applications reopen, join our email list.
How the Scholarship is Funded
As an independent, woman-owned small business, we believe in paying it forward. This scholarship is funded directly from Proof to Product’s earnings. Each year, we intentionally set aside a portion of our revenue to support one recipient through each round of Paper Camp.
We’re proud to invest in our community of product-based founders in this way — and grateful that our business allows us to offer this opportunity.
How to Prepare for a Strong Application
We receive a high volume of applications each round (typically 80–90), so clarity and completeness matter.
When you apply, you’ll put your best foot forward by:
Share Clear Goals: Tell us where your business is right now, where you’re headed, and what you’re working toward.
Connect the Dots: Explain specifically how Paper Camp will help you move forward and why this scholarship would make a meaningful difference for you. Tell us what Proof to Product resources you have used in the past and how those have impacted your business. Share what you’ve implemented from our podcast or free workshops and the outcomes you’ve had.
Carefully Follow the Instructions: This part matters because of the volume of applications we review.
To be considered, your application must be complete and submitted exactly as requested:
Submit everything in one application (we can’t review applications that arrive in pieces).
In the video component, confirm your link works and your settings allow us to view it. (Tip: test it with a friend before submitting.)
Submit by the deadline. Late applications can’t be considered.
Double-check key details (especially your email address) before hitting submit.
We also strongly recommend listening to our podcast episode: “Tips When Applying for Scholarships” before you apply for the scholarship
Scholarships may be closed, but your growth doesn’t have to be. Start with our free resource library and over 400+ podcast episodes. Lots of incredible resources to help you take action right now!
