New Scholarship The PB&J Scholarship Fund

This scholarship is focused on helping students whose test scores or GPAs might not be the best, but have the drive to succeed. Students can apply using this link http://bit.ly/pbjscholars2020.

This is the first time we are opening our scholarship to our school LR-HS. 

Why I Started the PB&J Scholarship Fund

When I attended Farrington High School in Hawaii, I was determined to go to college but my test scores and GPA were low, so i got rejected a lot. To give back to future students, I lived off PB&J sandwiches during my first year in college to fund a scholarship for a student like me.

Who is the scholarship for?

We are looking for students who have experienced challenges in their life and who have the drive to succeed. Open to all college-bound seniors who willbe attending an accredited 2-year or 4-year college in the fall 2020.

Priority Deadline: May 31, 2020
Scholarship amount: $500- $ 1,000

Since the start of the College Board Opportunity Scholarships program in December 2018, beginning with the class of 2020, 4,000 students each year will be able to earn scholarships. And we’re now pleased to welcome the class of 2021. The program is open for your juniors to begin, while your seniors continue their journey through March. In the weeks before or after winter break, use these new outreach resources to help spread the word and get your juniors started and these implementation tools to ensure your seniors stay on track. We’ll continue to provide you timely updates, tips, and resources for your juniors and seniors. If you or your counseling team haven’t already pledged, we encourage you to join the movement to commit to helping students with college planning. Take the pledge to receive a free resource kit to assist you in supporting your students as they take these key actions.

Priority Action Steps for the Class of 2021

Review the Educator Guide (.pdf/1.34 MB) to familiarize yourself with the student experience and advise your juniors to:

• Set up a College Board account, if they don’t already have one. • Opt in to join the scholarship program that also serves as their guide to planning for college. • Link their College Board and Khan Academy® accounts. • Over winter break, get started on the first two scholarships:

Start building a college list on BigFuture™. Start practicing on Official SAT® Practice on Khan Academy.

Pro Tip: Some schools have signed up nearly every junior by allocating as little as 15 minutes during a class for students to sign up or setting aside a few minutes during scheduled holiday events.

Priority Action Steps for the Class of 2020

Last Call! The Improve Your Score scholarship closes at the end of January. Seniors should ensure they have taken or are registered for an upcoming SAT to complete this scholarship and then focus on completing the final steps of the scholarship program.

Complete the FAFSA: $1,000 Closes February 2020 Have students complete the FAFSA® form to apply for financial aid. Students must provide a screenshot of their FAFSA confirmation email if selected for the scholarship (undocumented and international students are exempt). Pro Tip: Check out this helpful on-demand webinar, "National College Access Network (NCAN): Supporting Communities and Students in FAFSA Completion," to help your students navigate financial aid verification requirements. Apply to Colleges: $1,000 Closes February 2020 Advise students to apply to at least two colleges they want to attend and ensure they submit the names of the colleges to earn an entry for the scholarship. Pro Tip: Students may earn one additional entry for every additional application to college, up to a maximum of six total applications.

Thank you for your continued support and partnership as we clear a path for all students to own their future. Sincerely, College Board
