National Student Poetry Contest - Deadline April 30

Caroline D. Bradley Scholarship: A merit-based, need blind high school scholarship program. Annually, we pay tuition for over 100 CDB Scholars nationwide to attend a high school program that best suits their individual academic goals and learning styles—independent, boarding, parochial, homeschool/hybrid, charter, online, early college programs. Students apply in 7th grade and are selected as they begin 8th grade, so my team can work with them as they research, visit, and apply to high schools and programs. We support and maintain regular contact with our community of Scholars throughout high school, and with twenty classes of college graduate CDB alumni, have forged an engaged, vibrant network.

We would love to see more students from Kansas apply for our scholarship! We're excited to announce that the application for the graduating class of 2028 is now available. All applications will be due on April 17, 2023. All information regarding how to apply can be found on our website. https://educationaladvancement.org/caroline-d-bradley-scholarship/
