GUIDE STUDENTS THROUGH THE ADMISSIONS PROCESS AND EARN MONEY FOR COLLEGE WITH THE COLLEGE BOARD OPPORTUNITY SCHOLARSHIPS
Lacey applying to college can be confusing, and too many students don’t get the guidance they need. Students can stay on track with college planning through the College Board Opportunity Scholarships, thanks to a five-year $25 million investment by the College Board. One million dollars each year will go to students who complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) through the College Board Opportunity Scholarships.
