The College Board
In December 2018, The College Board launched the new $25 million College Board Opportunity Scholarships program to help guide students through the college planning process. This scholarship program is open to all students regardless of GPA, test scores, family income, and citizenship status. With each action completed, students earn chances at scholarships ranging from $500 to $40,000. Since its launch, over 400,000 students have joined the program and thousands have earned scholarships to help finance their college dreams. Join us as we discuss how students can use the College Board Opportunity Scholarships program to identify and track key college planning actions, including building a college list on BigFuture, practicing for the SAT using Official SAT Practice on Khan Academy, and completing the FAFSA.
