Please visit the College Greenlight Newsletter in order to learn about Scholarship Opportunities available to JUNIORS

Just a quick note – we launched the College Board Opportunity Scholarships (CBOS) a little over a year ago on Good Morning America (December 2018).  Students, in their junior year, can enter this scholarship program.  We are awarding 25 million dollars over the next 5 years to students who do the typical things as they prepare for life after high school.  Just by joining the scholarship program, and completing some basic tasks, your kids enter into a drawing for the various scholarships.  Scholarship names are pulled monthly.  There are quite a few winners in Illinois!

As of today, 62 students have signed up for the program at your school.  I have a feeling other students may be interested in tossing their hat in the ring for the opportunity to earn scholarships through this program! 

Here are a few items that explain the program along with some helpful attachments.
