The Genius Impact Starts Here

We’ve always believed tech should do more than just speed things up. It should actually make a difference. That’s why we’re launching something bigger than just a scholarship.

The Genius Impact is our long-term commitment to using Rack Genius’s infrastructure, skills, and platform to support the people, causes, and ideas pushing the world forward. Whether it’s teaming up with local communities, creating new partnerships, or backing students getting started in tech, we’re all in.

Our First Move: A Brand-New Annual Scholarship

We’re kicking things off with the Genius Impact Scholarship 2026, a new program for students who are passionate about tech and hungry to grow.

Every year, we’ll select a few standout students, two from our hometown of Whitehall High School and two from anywhere in the U.S., who show potential, curiosity, and a love for learning.

No perfect GPA or padded résumé required. We're looking for students who:

• Are into tech, computing, or love figuring things out
• Have built something on their own or love to experiment
• Want to grow and be part of the future of IT

This scholarship was created by Evan and Ethan, Rack Genius co-founders and proud Whitehall grads, to support students who are just like they were: curious, scrappy, and always building.

💵 $100 cash (sent directly to your school account)
