Opportunities
The following websites offer opportunities to participate in contests for scholarships, prizes, etc. Awards from contests can also be added to college applications! Ask your parents before you participate in any of them.
These opportunities have not been endorsed by our school or district, but they aligned with state curriculum standards when they were added to this website. Parents should pre-approve participation.
