How does my 12th grader earn credit toward the Learn & Earn Scholarship?

Uplift scholars have the opportunity to earn up to $3100 towards their college or career pathway after graduation with Uplift’s “A New Way to Learn & Earn” scholarship program! In 12th grade, your child will have the opportunity to complete challenges during the year for credits up to $1,100 that will be paid out after high school graduation! The challenges focus on three categories:

• Building International Baccalaureate Scholars
• Contributing to Strong School Cultures
• Achieving College and Career Readiness

All your scholar must do this year to earn up to $1100 credits is:

• Earn a passing grade (no N letter grade) on the Diploma Program Extended Essay
• Score 4 or higher on 1 or more Diploma Program exams
• Miss 6 days or less of school this year
• Serve as a leader of an on-campus club or play on a school sports team
• Submit applications to at least 3 colleges on your college counselor approved list
• Submit FAFSA/TAFSA by January 15 (or later if deadline extended)
• Score college ready on TSI (if not earned yet)
• Score college ready on ACT (if not earned yet)

Complete all items on the list above or just a few.  You earn credits for each challenge completed.
