The College Board Opportunity Scholarships
The College Board Opportunity Scholarships reward you based on your effort and initiative, rather than your GPA or personal statement. To apply for these scholarships, you just need to complete key steps on your journey to college, like filling out your FAFSA and submitting applications. The individual scholarships range from $500 to $2,000, but if you complete five of the six actions, you're eligible to win $40,000.
