The newly formed Hot Topic Foundation raises money through generous Hot Topic & Torrid employee donations and fundraising. Recently, the Hot Topic Foundation awarded a $3,000 grant to Internos Music Organization. Their goal is to provide 15 underprivileged children with private weekly music lessons for a 4 to 5 month scholarship period. Near the end of the scholarship, these lucky recipients will participate in the Internos Music Organization's annual recital. Please check website regularly for recital updates.

Below are the students currently awarded the Hot Topic scholarships:
