Community Guidelines

The rules

• Be honest. Only list achievements, roles, skills and experiences that are real. A profile built on exaggeration helps no one — and misleading scholarship campaigns are removed.
• Be respectful. No bullying, harassment, hate, discrimination or humiliation — ever, toward anyone.
• Keep it appropriate. No explicit, violent or adult content. Remember: this is a professional profile that teachers, employers and admissions teams may read.
• Protect privacy. Don't post anyone else's personal information — including other students' — and don't share your own contact details publicly.
• No spam, scams or solicitation. Don't use ScholarOut to sell, advertise or pressure other students.
• No impersonation. Your profile must be you, under your real name.

Children's safety comes first

ScholarOut has zero tolerance for any content or behaviour that sexualizes, exploits or endangers a minor. Any such content is removed immediately, the account is terminated, and we report to the appropriate authorities — including Cybertip.ca in Canada — where required by law.

What happens when rules are broken

Reports are read and acted on by a person. Depending on severity, we may remove content, restrict accounts or remove a student from the platform. For students under 16, serious concerns may also be shared with their parent or guardian. Where the law requires it, we involve authorities.
