Did you know that 86.4% of first-time, first-year undergraduate students receive financial aid in some form? Students borrow (an average of) $11,836 per year to pay for school. Applying for scholarships outside of federal aid and school-based award packages can help significantly lower the cost of attendance. Also, scholarships are free and do not need to be paid back! Most scholarships can be used for anything from tuition and fees/room and board, to transportation costs and books and materials. We encourage all students to apply for scholarships in addition to other forms of financial aid.

The CollegeBoard Opportunity Scholarships are a set of scholarships awarded to students for taking steps towards college planning. Students are entered into drawings for completing different tasks related to college prep and planning. Click the link below for more information, or watch the video tutorial to get started today!
