Go City Education Scholarship - $4,000

Calling all students!

Books, tuition, endless coffees to survive those all-night study sessions… student life doesn’t come cheap. So, it’s no wonder sightseeing isn’t always top of the spending list.

At Go City, we believe everyone should get the chance to experience the best their favourite city has to offer — no matter the budget. That’s why we’re giving one lucky student the chance to explore top attractions for free with our passes.

From world-famous museums and iconic landmarks to guided walking tours and off-the-beaten-path treasures, Go City gives you the freedom to discover both the big names and the hidden gems.

But that’s not all. Our lucky winner will also receive a USD4,000 academic scholarship to help cover those university essentials. Whether it's rent, that outrageously priced textbook, or a mountain of instant noodles — how you spend it is entirely up to you.

More information on deadlines and how to apply can be found here
