About this opportunity

This scholarship provides one $1,000 award to acknowledge UMass undergraduates who have stepped up as active bystanders using YIS strategies. YIS is a bystander intervention program developed by and for UMASS Amherst students.

The scholarship recognizes students who have demonstrated commitment to creating a safer campus community through active bystander intervention.
