College Board Opportunity Scholarships

Applying to college is a complicated process, so College Board has create the Opportunity Scholarships program to guide you through it. This program is open to all students in the class of 2022 and doesn’t require an essay, application, or minimum GPA. Instead, it rewards your effort and initiative.

Over $5 million is available this year, with $2 million earmarked for students whose families earn less than $60,000 per year. As a bonus, students can even earn a chance at a $40,000 scholarship if they complete all six steps.

The program guides them through the steps in the college planning process at their own pace at home. When students take the first two steps—building a college list and practicing for the SAT®—they’ll qualify for a $500 scholarship just by getting ready for college. And they don’t even have to get off the couch.
