The College Board Opportunity Scholarships program is now available for all juniors. Students and families are invited to watch this video to learn about the program.

  • Since 2018, nearly one million students have joined this program, which provides students with a digital college planning guide and chances to earn $500 for each action they complete. 
     
  • When students complete all six steps, they earn a chance at a $40,000 scholarship.
     
  • Students whose families earn less than $60,000 per year have double the chances to earn scholarships.

High school juniors can visit cb.org/opportunity to join. This year, the program is introducing some changes:

  1. More Winners: Starting with the class of 2022, the program will recognize even more students. More than 7,000 students will earn a scholarship each year, nearly double the number of winners recognized in previous years. 
     
  2. New Explore Scholarships Step: There is a new step to help students find other scholarships that may be a good fit for them. Students can earn chances at $500 scholarships by exploring a personalized list of scholarships and other aid on College Board Scholarship Search. 
     
  3. Practice for the SAT StepThis simplified step guides students to get started with personalized skill recommendations, a best practice behavior associated with higher score gains. Students can become eligible for $500 scholarships by completing one Timed Mini Section or one Diagnostic Quiz on Official SAT Practice on Khan Academy.
