FAQ

How do I earn scholarships through the Power-Up program?

By completing the minimum requirements by March 15th of each year, eligible students will be considered in “good standing” and will earn $1,000 scholarship for the following school year. Between March 15th and the end of the spring semester, a competition will take place for additional scholarships up to $1,000. The competition will weigh students’ overall involvement and the quality of their ePortfolio as scored by a panel of judges.

Are the Power-Up Scholarships renewable each year?

Yes! Students that participate and complete program requirements during the 2021-2022 school year will earn scholarships for the 2022-2023 school year. Students in good standing will have the option to remain enrolled in the Power-Up program each year but must continue to engage in events and submit a yearly ePortfolio to earn scholarships for the following year.

If I am in the Honors program, can I participate?

Yes! Honors students are automatically involved in much of the same programming as Power-Up students during 2021-2022 school year. However, since Honors students already receive a scholarship equivalent to the maximum available through Power-Up, they will not be eligible to earn additional scholarship dollars through Power-Up, although they can still take advantage of all of the other benefits.
