How these are worked out
  • Our grade. From three facts the sponsor published. How few can apply: one high school or city 3 points, a county 2, the state 1, the whole country 0. How much it pays: $10,000 or more, or at least half of tuition, 3; $2,500 or more 2; $1,000 or more 1. Paid again in later years: 1. A is 4 points or more, B 3, C 2, D 0 or 1.
  • How narrow the field is. Read from where the sponsor restricts it. An award open to one high school is competing against a graduating class.
  • Value for the effort. The published amount divided by the 135 minutes the sponsor's own requirements take.
  • Conditions to meet. The conditions the sponsor published, each listed under Who can apply. More conditions means a smaller field, which is good news if you meet them.
  • None of it is a chance of winning. We do not know how many people apply or how a sponsor chooses, so we do not publish a percentage. Anyone who does is guessing.

Remind me before this closes

We will email you a week before November 30th, 2026, once. Nothing else unless you ask for it.
