$1,000 - ETEAM Scholarship
You will receive a $1,000 scholarship for every year you participate in ETEAM!
So, if you are on an ETEAM for your sophomore, junior, and senior year of high school, that means you’ve just earned a $3,000 scholarship! But, keep in mind, this scholarship cannot be used up during your freshman year of college—because you earned it over 3 years, you’ll need to spend it over 3 years.
(And, yes, this scholarship can be stacked on all other scholarships including the Truth & Peace and CTS/YET scholarships.Â
$1,000 - CTS/YET Scholarship
You will receive a $1,000 scholarship for every year you are a Category D (10-12th grade) winner in the CTS competition or you are selected for YET!
So as an example, if you are a Category D CTS winner for your sophomore and junior year of high school, and then you are selected for YET as a high school senior, that means you’ve just earned $3,000!
But, keep in mind, this scholarship cannot be used up during your freshman year of college—because you earned it over 3 years, you’ll need to spend it over 3 years. (And, yes, this scholarship can be stacked on all other scholarships including the Truth & Peace scholarship.)Â
$1,000 - Truth and Peace Scholarship
You will receive a $1,000 scholarship for every year you participate in Truth and Peace!
So as an example, if you participate in Truth and Peace for your freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior year of high school then you’ve just earned $4,000 in scholarships!
But, keep in mind, this scholarship cannot be used up during your freshman year of college—because you earned it over 4 years, you’ll need to spend it over 4 years. (And, yes, this scholarship can be stacked on all other scholarships including the ETEAM and CTS/YET scholarships.)
