Is there any field or job that combines the three AI and technology and community service organizations ( like United Nations Volunteers programme)?
I'm currently in the 10th grade, and I am unsure of what field to pursue in the future.

How to I get the Stamps President's Scholarship from Georgia Tech?
Hi, I am a sophomore in high school and I'm determined to receive the the Stamps President's Scholarship from Georgia Tech especially because I want to go to medical school after (I want to be an Emergency Medicine Physician) so I want to have as little debt as possible. I have straight A's, am on track to take the hardest classes, participate in cross country and track, which I received a coach's award in last year, am currently in process of working on my girl scout gold award, my goal being to push for increase in minimum wage and support medical needs of the unhoused, I am in HOSA and Women in Medicine leadership this year, I am in key club, this past summer I was in a shadowing program at a hospital where I also presented an official research project about oral health in the unhoused (I surveyed these people to get my data). I plan to keep doing this program. I am in orchestra. I help my brother, who is on the autism spectrum and needs extra support, basically in most of my free time. I know this Scholarship is practically impossible to get. I am so determined to get there. Stamps President's Scholarship alumni (specifically from georgia tech if possible), or other professionals, please give me advice for how I can make my dream a reality. I have read everything on the website and know how it works but I just want to know if someone can give me specific advice.

How do I create a completly unique non-profit that helps people who don't have proper access to healthcare?
I'm a high school student passionate about improving access to healthcare, especially for those who lack basic necessities. I'm considering starting a non-profit that creates and distributes care kits containing essential items like period pads, heating pads, Tylenol, and similar products. I plan to collaborate with friends and raise awareness through social media. However, I realize that many people with similar goals might be doing something along the same lines. I want to find a way to make a real impact while taking a slightly different, more creative or underserved approach. What are some meaningful alternatives I could explore that still support healthcare access but stand out a bit more?

Can you put community service on your resume or even college application?
