Keep in mind that Scholarships fall into two categories of awards: Merit (some excellent talent, skill, academics, ability) AND/OR Financial Need. Additionally, finding a scholarship is like looking for your first job… don’t be picky and apply to MANY! There are no guarantees and you must put in the time to reap a reward.

College Board Opportunities Scholarships
The College Board Opportunity Scholarships program is now open to all juniors! Since 2018, nearly one million students have joined this program, which provides students with a digital college planning guide and chances to earn $500 for each action they complete. When students complete all six steps, they earn a chance at a $40,000 scholarship. Students whose families earn less than $60,000 per year have double the chances to earn scholarships.
High school juniors can visit cb.org/opportunity to join. This year, the College Board Opportunity Scholarships is introducing some changes, all to support more students with planning and paying for college, especially in these challenging times:
·More Winners: Starting with the class of 2022, the program will recognize even more students. More than 7,000 students will earn a scholarship each year, nearly double the number of winners recognized in previous years.
·New Explore Scholarships Step: There is a new step to help students find other scholarships that may be a good fit for them. Students can earn chances at $500 scholarships by exploring a personalized list of scholarships and other aid on College Board Scholarship Search.
· Practice for the SAT Step: This simplified step guides students to get started with personalized skill recommendations, a best practice behavior associated with higher score gains. Students can become eligible for $500 scholarships by completing one Timed Mini Section or one Diagnostic Quiz on Official SAT Practice on Khan Academy.
The earlier juniors get started, the more opportunities to earn scholarships! Between January and March, we will award $500 scholarships to 3,000 juniors who build a college list or practice for the SAT. All students can earn one of these scholarships, even students who never dreamt they could get a scholarship. Since you’re giving SAT School Day this March, this scholarship opportunity is a particularly good fit. Your students will be practicing for that test and thinking about the colleges where they want to send their scores during that Jan-March timeframe anyway!
