$10,000 Comeback Clothes Scholarship

The vast majority of fabric can be recycled, yet 85% of textiles made each year ends up in landfills. That’s 11.1 million tons, or the equivalent of over 70 Billion t-shirts. Sign up for Comeback Clothes to collect old and worn-out clothes in your school and communities and recycle them at your local H&M store to help save precious resources. Not only will you be making the world suck less, participants can earn a chance to win a $10,000 scholarship for school for every 50 pieces collected. Submit a photo of the clothes you collected to be entered to win a $10,000 Scholarship. The more clothes you collect, the more entries you can earn. No essay or minimum GPA required.

Award: $10,000

Deadline: May 31, 2015
