Nearly two years ago, Kia used what would have been Super Bowl commercial funds to instead launch a scholarship for students who embodied the automaker’s “Give It Everything” spirit. The first round of recipients (called the freshman class) was unveiled around this time last year, with the winners appearing on Kia’s YouTube channel and social media. Now, the sophomore class of “The Great Unknowns” Scholarship has been announced.
The 16 recipients of the scholarship attend classes at campuses around the country, including the Cleveland Institute of Art, Cal State Northridge, the University of Connecticut, and Tulane University, to name just a few. Praised for not only their academic achievements, these students also went above and beyond as volunteers, non-profit leaders, and activists in their communities for causes like LGBTQ+ rights, homelessness, and social justice.
