Deadline: 27 May 2025
The One Young World is currently accepting applications for its Rappler Scholarship to support young Filipinos making an impact in Anti-Hate and Responsible Tech.
Sectors that fall under ‘anti-hate’ could include journalism that seeks to promote peace and understanding between groups, advocacies protecting minorities or vulnerable groups, or any initiative that counters hatred, violence, and abuse.
For ‘responsible tech’, included are advocacies to protect users of the internet, social media, and generative AI from harm; or the use of tech to protect rights.

The community chat will be held in any of the public chat rooms in the Rappler Communities app which can be downloaded for free from App Store or Play Store. The scholars will be asked to invite members of their community to join the chat. The scholar will invite resource persons and moderate the one-hour live chat.
