College Board Opportunity Scholarships
The College Board Opportunity Scholarships program guides students through the college planning process with a chance to earn scholarships along the way.
Since it launched in 2018, more than one million students from all 50 states, Washington, D.C. and U.S. territories have signed up for the program.
In 2020, we recognized 25 students for the first time with $40,000 scholarships for completing their college planning journey. In 2021, we recognize 27 additional winners who come from 14 states, coast to coast.
