Now Open for the Class of 2022!

The College Board Opportunity Scholarships program is now open for class of 2022 students. It guides students step by step through the college planning process. For each step that a student completes, they'll earn a chance at a $500 scholarship. When they complete all six steps, they'll earn a chance at $40,000. Please share this program with your juniors and encourage them to sign up and take the first step by building a college list on BigFuture™.

Students Can Double Their Chances to Earn a Scholarship if:
They received or used a fee waiver from the College Board.
